Multimedia in Social Studies
During the summer while I was observing a class for my field experience, I was fortunate to visit a very enthusiastic Social Studies teacher who was adept at using technology in aiding his instruction.
This teacher incorporated the use of the internet with streaming video, and later presented clips from a DVD player. All of this was in addition to his traditional lecture to introduce the multimedia pieces.
At the end of that lesson, I too was enlightened about some Social Studies issues that I would use in my own teaching of Electrical Installation class that had Social Integration.
I am now using technology when teaching a unit on OSHA.
I am currently using a multimedia projector and notebook computer.
