  12. Is there a value to tech use? Social Studies teachers are probably least likely to use technology Excellent for writing process Tech can be used to make the complexity of social studies more manageable Most strongly felt in area of student motivation Can help level the playing field with ever increasing diversity Hawaii International Conference on Education – January 2012

  13. Thus in conclusion: The use of technology in social studies is still limited. Teachers tend to use technology most for their own purposes/needs. Novice teachers tend to use technology more than experienced teachers. There was no significant difference between teachers with grad & under grad degree in tech use. Non-traditionally prepared teachers tend to use tech less than traditionally prepared teachers. Hawaii International Conference on Education – January 2012
