Social Science Resources

This is a collection of resources to help teachers integrate technology into social studies. There are links to government sites as well as general social science sites. This site has been recently updated and all links checked. I am currently putting together an information literacy presentation based on the 2004 Presidential election. Contact me if you would like more information.
