The basis of this course is to encourage the integration of technology into social science curriculum. Both digital portfolios and teacher websites have been shown to VERY effective in achieving this goal. It is hoped that you will leave this class with not only a working website which you can integrate into a website for your classes, but also with the knowledge of how you can integrate digital portfolios into your curriculum so that your students can benefit from these interactive assignments as well.
