A volume in Teaching and Learning Social Studies Book Series
Series Editor William Benedict Russell III, University of Central Florida
The world is ever changing and the way students experience social studies should reflect the
environment in which they live and learn. Digital Social Studies explores research, effective
teaching strategies, and technologies for social studies practice in the digital age.
The digital age of education is more prominent than ever and it is an appropriate time to
examine the blending of the digital age and the field of social studies. What is digital social
studies? Why do we need it and what is its purpose? What will social studies look like in the
future? The contributing authors of this volume seek to explain, through an array of ideas and
visions, what digital social studies can/should look like, while providing research and rationales
for why digital social studies is needed and important.
This volume includes twenty-two scholarly chapters discussing relevant topics of importance to digital social studies. The twenty-two
chapters are divided into two sections. This stellar collection of writings includes contributions from leading scholars like Cheryl
Mason Bolick, Michael Berson, Elizabeth Washington, Linda Bennett, and many more.
