Ratings and Reviews
Wow!
Thank you so much for the time and dedication put into this app. This app legitimately feels like a glimpse into the future of social studies education. The interface is so fluid that you can't help but want to scroll around, the sources are well-chosen and approachable, and the question prompts are guiding, but leave enough room for students to be open-ended.
Such an incredible resource for such an important historical topic. I look forward to any other topics/time periods that you choose to cover. Thank you again!
Inspiring teaching resource!
This app inspired me to develop a new project for my eighth graders. Using the add to my collections feature, the kids will create a dossier of documents that they will then use to answer the document based question, also provided under "teaching immigration". The four square document synthesis tool is great, and they will use this before writing the dbq. I think as an extension the kids will turn the essays into documentaries which they will create on iMovie using the document collection from this app. Thanks!
