I have been a teacher since the early 80's. I guess I have grown as the technology grew. I teach social studies. I think this subject is the perfect venue for applying technology in a creative way.
I have two children - a son who is 20 and an 13 year old daughter. I am always posting her singing videos because I am so proud of her. My son has decided to become a History teacher - he is majoring in Secondary Ed.
With your interest in Technology Application for Social Studies, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.

I have down loaded your AR study. I am a fan of sustained silent reading. Many thanks, I will quote you to my staff.
