Personal Learning Networks

National Council for the Social Studies Community Network - This is a site I would use to get ideas on how to teach various topics specifically in a social studies class. This site has a forum where teachers can interact with each other. There are also articles discussing what is happening in the field of social studies. I like this website because this is a site I know most social studies would refer to because it is reputable and is facilitated by the National Council for the Social Studies (the organization that sets the major standards for teaching social studies).

ASCD EDge - This site allows educators to collaborate, discuss, and ask questions about any subject. This site also provides other resources for educators to check out. I also like this site because social studies is very integrative, therefore this site would give me various resources to use to teach different aspects of social studies, such as literature if my students were to read a novel pertaining to a specific time period/event that we're studying in class.

The Educator's PLN - This site is the site that I used to find the previous two PLNs. I found this very helpful because if there was something that I could not find on this site, it had a list of other sites that I could refer to. This site also has videos and forums that allows educators to discuss whatever is happening in their classrooms.
