EdTech Tool hikes

LOOKING FOR HIKES? WE'VE GOT HIKES.

Using the FIELD Guide in a social studies classroom can be a bit like a hiker choosing the right trail for their level of hiking experience. Some of us have been doing this for a while and are ready for difficult instructional designs and activities. Some of us are just starting out or are new to the idea of using inquiry-based instruction and are looking for easy or moderate strategies.


In each FIELD Guide chapter, we have included instructional examples or resources with different levels of inclines and obstacles so that you can find the activity perfect for you. We have also created our own rating scale based on activity length, use of primary sources, prep time, and assessment type.
