Mobile Assignment

This document describes two mobile applications - Minecraft and Google Drive - that could be used to teach 5th grade US history from pre-Columbian times to the 1770s. Minecraft could be used to have students individually create Indian villages corresponding to different tribes, showing how homes and resources used varied by location. Google Drive allows students to collaborate in groups on presentations about different tribes using shared slides, conducting research from home. Both apps integrate with curriculum objectives on how early North American cultures developed.
