With this course, I aim to gain a deeper understanding of the topics of study, as well as learning about a variety of instructional methods used in social studies. I hope to understand how technology can be incorporated into the subject matter as a means to keeps learner’s active and engaged throughout the content. I am eager to observe different hands-on activities that can be used to target the kinesthetic or visual learners in the classroom. Social studies/history has always been my preferred subject in school but I am aware that many students may view history as a mundane list of facts filled with memorization. My goal for this course is to obtain strategies to change that perception! In addition, my expectation for this course is that feedback will be provided as a means to observe my personal progress, understanding, and application of the coursework material throughout the semester.
