In this workshop, participants would have the opportunity to see how Computer Science activities can be integrated into social studies learning. As an elementary classroom teacher, there are many ways to integrate technology into the classroom. The target audience, elementary educators, primarily 3-6 grade, will get the opportunity to see some examples of integrated CS lessons in social studies, as well as have some time to explore some of the resources used. Resources for these lessons include code.org, microbits, and Scratch. The example lessons relate to geography, history, and civics and government, and are just a few examples of how to integrate CS into the social studies curriculum, to make the learning more engaging for students.
