Abstract
This is a perspective of the social studies educational research community in response to the interview of Joseph South. Despite the relative availability of digital primary sources, social studies teacher educators are still concerned about the relatively low frequency with which these resources are being used in the classroom. For example the guidelines for social studies teacher educators published by Mason et al., 2000 and Hicks et al., 2014 cite concerns about the manner in which social studies teachers integrate technology into instruction. The concerns are focused on whether or not social studies teachers integrate computer-based resources and, when they do, whether this integration warrants an appropriate use – one that improves student learning outcomes.
