Teaching Social Studies Online: An Exemplar for Examining the Broader Implications of Online Methods Courses in Teacher Education
The authors use experiences with an elementary social studies methods course to create dialogic conversations about the issues and challenges faced as they taught the class for the first time in an online format. In dialogues, the authors raise questions about the impact of online methods on classroom community, the significance of modeling practices in teacher education, and the status of social studies in teacher education. These questions are pertinent to and compelling for larger discussions of online delivery across the content spectrum. Indeed, the authors contend that the range of issues surrounding online social studies methods and this content area's particular vulnerabilities make the course an appropriate and convincing case study for the future of all methods courses, particularly within the context of the current accountability-obsessed educational setting.
