Social Studies:
Here is a list of "tried and true" resources that have been used by our own GHSD teachers
Tagxedo turns words -- famous speeches, news articles, slogans and themes, even your love letters -- into a visually stunning word cloud, words individually sized appropriately to highlight the frequencies of occurrence within the body of text.
Lexopedia: This is a great tool for building and expanding academic vocabulary. Perfect for helping students learn new Social Studies terms.
Time Glider: Great tool for creating a timeline of historic events with students.
When in Time: Another great timeline tool to help students plot historic events or current events.
