Did You Know?

Social Studies is about examining society, our past yes, but also our present and future. This is where we are starting, looking at our rapidly evolving local-global world. See the video below: "Did You Know?"

Food for Thought
Consider the facts presented to formulate your own opinions about the information (supported by evidence and careful consideration):

1.) What facts surprised you the most? Why? What facts do you think are especially significant? Why?
2.) What questions does this information raise in your mind?
3.) How has technology changed you and your life?
4.) How is technology changing our future (work, learning, communication, relationships, etc.)?
5.) Describe your perspective towards these changes. Are you an optimist or a pessimist, or both? Why? Explain.
