Editor's pick for interesting reading December 2009:
* Social studies online
Check out the new Social Studies Online website: http://ssol.tki.org.nz/
On the right hand side of the front page you'll see some useful resources for writing social studies units. These are invaluable for making resources useful in the classroom.
You can download the latest booklet in the 'Building Conceptual Understandings in the Social Sciences' series, which is all about globalisation. It is called 'Being Part of Global Communities'. Download it here.
Other journals and interesting websites:
* Young People's geography is a new UK website that has lots of ideas and activities.
