<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">The Revolution: Interactive Guide

 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">By Jeff Grimes Textbooks

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Constitution for iPad

 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Complete copy of the Constitution

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Constitution and Federalist Papers:

 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Not as good as the previous app, but because the Federalist Papers are included in this one, it is working checking out.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">National Archives and Records Administration – Today’s Document:

 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">This app features a different document for each day. You can swipe to see the previous or next document or use the calendar to select a specific date or just browse documents at random. Tapping the info icon will reveal background information for the document you are viewing.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Your Rights

 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">This is a reference document to help all citizens know their rights in a user-friendly question and answer format.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">World Book – This Day in History

 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">“This… is an interactive multimedia calendar that displays historical events for the current day or any selected day, along with related media such as photos, illustrations, music, and speeches.” Taken from app store description. *I noticed to get access to certain features, you are sent to iTunes or Amazon.com for purchasing. I don’t like this, but the information given within the app is pretty good.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">On this day…

 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;"> By Sophiestication Software
 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Great app for your smartphone. It can be loaded on an iPad, but you have to enlarge it and it pixelates somewhat. I actually like the extensive links and features of this app better than the World Book version.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Down-Shift, Inc.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Has a Today in History iPad Edition but beware it depends greatly on Wikipedia which we don’t encourage.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Stats of the Union

 * <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Listed in the Health & Fitness Category but it a definite crossover into the Social Sciences. It is powered by the Community Health Status Indicators (CHSI) report and consists of data from federal agencies such as the Census Bureau, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Labor, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Worth checking out. We have already loaded this free app on our two carts at the NGA.

<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;"> iTunes U & Podcasts
<span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">There are 5 episodes from the GaDOE on Conceptual Teaching of Social Studies in the Middle and High School. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">There is also something called GSO to GO Voices Podcast. This is an archive of podcasts talking about projects and ideas on how to integrate technology into the GPS as well as various tools and resources found on GeorgiaStandards.org that align with a performance-based curriculum. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Do a search on your specific subject needs and check out some of the results in the iTunes U and Podcast categories. Of course, these can be accessed through the iPads, desktop, or laptop. I have not seen any podcasts that were not free. I found historical speeches that are the actual speech recorded from a radio broadcast or live event that will give you chills when you hear it from the source just like you were there when it happened. So make use of these. <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">You can be adventurous and create some educational podcasts with your students. Use the best ones to help teach the next class that comes in.
