“Learn About America” Is A New & Useful (& Free) Social Studies Site

Many teachers are familiar with the Mr. Nussbaum site, which has offered lots of online learning activities for years.

Now, its creator, Greg Nussbaum, has unveiled an even more impressive site called Learn About America.  All the activities are available free, but it just costs $45 a year if teachers want to create a virtual classroom and track student work.

When I was teaching US History to English Language Learners, Brainpop was a classroom staple.  Its cost eventually just got too much and they required a school subscription if you wanted students to be able to watch the videos on their own.

If I was teaching it today, I’d get a subscription to this new “Learn About America” site, and combine it with interactive videos I could create with Wayground (formerly Quizizz), plus our accessible textbook.

I’m adding this info to The Best Websites For Teaching & Learning About U.S. History.
