Dominique Dynes wrote in her submission to the 2014 Digital Innovation in Learning Awards, “Social Studies instruction has come alive, no longer based solely on dusty textbooks sitting on our shelves. By making connections with classrooms around the world, we are not only learning first-hand from students our age, we are also gaining an appreciation for the world…Showing kids that social media and online tools aren’t only for their personal after-school activities but can be an essential part of the school day holds lots of promise for where education is going today.”
