Abstract
Events throughout the world have demonstrated the powerful use of technology to shape political ideas, give people a voice, and impact human behavior. The field of social studies education has long been a proponent for the use of technology; however, educators continue to be eluded by a paucity of studies to validate the effectiveness of implementation through longitudinal and outcome-based research. Key areas of focus for the social studies include digital citizenship, the evolution of the electronic republic, the Internet’s impact on political elections and movements, the rise of participatory democracy in cyberspaces, the power of the Internet to transform society through social networks, and the potential to transcend physical boundaries to promote community building and global interaction.
