and more! Check out the post for additional resources.

Nick Urban's curator insight, July 16, 2015 3:31 PM

This site offers terrific digital resources specific to the social studies classroom. It offers resources on a variety of social studies topics from world history to American history, and politics. One of the sites that I have used in my classroom is History Animated that allows users to see virtual battlefields and live the action that soldiers would have felt.
