The document discusses strategies for integrating technology into social studies lessons based on Robert Marzano's research on effective classroom instruction. It provides examples of how elementary teachers can use various technologies to support identifying similarities and differences, summarizing and note-taking, generating and testing hypotheses, setting objectives, and incorporating cooperative learning. Specific technology tools are suggested for each grade level to enhance lessons on topics like vertebrates, the American Revolution, and the digestive system.
