Teaching the Civil War Through Technology & Cognition Across the Curriculum!

Bonus Social Studies Activities for World and U.S. History!

Beyond the Civil War IDU teaching materials provided, this CD-Rom also includes several other activities and ideas to further facilitate cognitive growth and achievement through the use of educational technology.  The activities below focus on a great idea for assessment in the creating of a "Theme Park" based on your course content.  These types of activities require high level cognitive thinking skills as students must use the content to create a fictional park.  The Theme Park assignment can also be used as an IDU.
