Reflection
Social studies is the integrated study of the social sciences, humanities and
history. The websites we looked though in class just covered these aspects.
Library is such a necessary place for students to study deeper, it also
does a same fundamental function in online learning. Online libraries provide
huge various of resources for students and teachers choosing to use, learners
can search resources they need by search engine with limitations conveniently.
The significant way to do social studies is communicating with others I think.
So I think the best way to learn that is exploring what we need to learn social
studies on the Internet and discuss the issue with classmates, teachers, family
members and others. Group games and family games could be efficient ways to
this process.
There is a famous table game named “Three Kingdom Kill” in China which I
really like playing. Heroes designed in that game are all based on the famous
long-length novel named “the Romance of Three Kingdom” and the history of the
Three Kingdom, I can obtain historical knowledge and humanities when I play
this game with others online, it’s benefit for me to learn social studies of
ancient China.
At first I did not understand the connection to what you had been studying, but now i see it is a commentary on the Social Studies references we were considering. You make an excellent point that the interactive games help us understand the concepts and context of history very well. We will have a course on game-based learning in March and April coming up. :-)
