History, Social studies

I feel that many misunderstand History and Social Studies . They think of the subject as boring and that all you can do is read from text book and write essays. I dont blame them because when I was growing up this is how Social Studies was presented to me. I have learned that their is so much more to social studies then reading. The teacher can control students view on a subject. They just have toe present the information in an engaging and active way. They have to show students how to love what they learn. I have learned that using technology gets students excited and ready to learn. Creating more hands on activated and projects for the students. Letting the students explore topics and teaching themselves gets them to be active and participating. Social studies includes everything from current events to understanding how society evolved and was created. Social studies helps students to become apart of society and understand more of their surrounding. When I become a teacher I will make sure my students love social studies . I will engage them in creating hypothesis and making projects to share their results in the class. I will use technology to present videos, clips and quizzes to them in a different and entertaining way. I want to be that teacher that changes my student views of social studies. I am ready for the journey ahead of me.
