Welcome to EEDUC 5136!

Welcome to the first posting in Thoughts on Social Studies, an online blog to add to the in class experience of EEDUC 5136 Integrating Social Studies in the Elementary Classroom. I hope that class times can be summed up here, along with any further comments, helps and hints.
The purpose of the blog is two fold: it serves as a way for us to have a running dialogue and it will also give us the experience of blogging and its potential role in the classroom.
