Score - History/Social Science
http://score.rims.k12.ca.us/

Schools of California Online Resources for Education, History/Social Science (SCORE H/SS) evaluates, aligns, and annotates quality resources from the World Wide Web to the California History-Social Science Content Standards and curriculum. The project was begun in 1995 as a program of the Curriculum and Instructional Steering Committee of the California County Superintendent's Education Services Association (CCSESA) and is now funded and managed through the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools (SBCSS). Leadership is provided by Dr. Margaret 'Peg' Hill, History/Social Science Coordinator, SBCSS . The SCORE H/SS content Resources have been selected and evaluated by a team of educators from across California. SCORE H/SS features over 3500 primary and secondary web resources annotated and indexed to California's curriculum. These sites may be accessed through a search by grade level topic, content standard, or keyword on the SCORE H/SS database. After a continuous review of thousands of sites, these particular resources were chosen for their alignment to content standards, accuracy, grade appropriateness, and richness. There are over 1200 Lessons and activities on SCORE H/SS that address the California standards through active learning. Some require Internet access in the classroom, but others may be printed off for use in the connectivity-challenged school. In addition to the criteria listed above, lessons/activities were selected to meet the needs of California's diverse student population, meet the needs of classrooms with different levels of internet connectivity, and provide memorable learning experiences for students. Visually rich Virtual Projects & Field Trips were also selected to support English learners and challenged readers. This will be added to Education and Distance Learning Resources 2006 Internet MiniGuide.
