=**Website Development For the Secondary Social Studies Teacher**=

Welcome to the support wiki for website development for the secondary Social Studies teacher workshop. There are a wide variety of tools available to help teachers transform their teaching and help them to bring their classrooms and students into the 21st Century. During this intense 8 day training course we will get hands on experience in creating websites, wikis, blogs, and many other tools. We will focus on designing, creating, and implementing, websites that are comprehensive and include many advance features such as blogs, wikis, audio, and video to name a few. The skills learned during this course can be immediately translated to the social studies classroom. This course is intended for secondary Social Studies educators, grades 6-12.
