Go Social Studies Go is essentially a series of multimedia books about common social studies topics.

Within each section is a series of booklets containing text, pictures, videos, and links to additional resources.

Applications for Education
Go Social Studies Go could be an excellent resource for middle school social studies teachers. For the topics covered, the multimedia booklets provide as much content area information as you’ll see in a typical textbook. For high school students, the multimedia booklets could be a good primer or refresher on many topics.
