We are starting our next unit of study in American history: exploration and expansion of North America. Our goal is for students to research the events that led to the growth of the U.S., with an emphasis on the different perspectives of people impacted by Westward Expansion and settlement. Our students are especially enthusiastic about this time period because many are immigrants themselves, and are curious about the immigrants who built this country. We have set up a class webpage with links to educational websites, videos and interactive platforms where our students can research multiple perspectives on this important period of history. Sharing technology (laptops) with the hundreds of other 5th graders on our floor can often be restricting.
Having our own Chrome books at an interactive research station will give students unhindered daily access to Social Studies content.
Our students are already so enthusiastic about this new unit! These Chrome books and texts will significantly motivate our students to learn the importance of understanding the multiple sides of historical events.
