Teaching about How Inventions and Technology Have Changed U.S. History
Risinger, C. Frederick
Social Education, v79 n2 p115-116 Mar-Apr 2015
Technological innovations and inventions are changing society and world culture so fast that it's often difficult to keep up. This article provides many web sites that will provide classroom teachers or even full social studies departments with information and lesson plans to integrate the importance of inventions and technology into their courses. Some sites were selected by the author because they would be helpful to students working on individualized or group projects. Many of the websites contain links to other sites that teachers should check out. In many cases, some of the links contained information that was just as valuable as the original link or a focus on a different invention or technological change. A couple of the links describe inventions of common everyday products that will prove interesting to students.
