Social Studies and Thinkfinity

As educators we love to borrow and share lesson plans, ideas and resources. Thinkfinity.org is a tool provided by the Verizon Foundation for educators to use. The lessons and resources are tied to national standards and might need to be tweaked and or adjusted to meet Utah standards. There are 4 main resources that specifically relate to Social Studies, they are: EconEdLink, EDSITEment, Smithsonian’s History Explorer and Xpeditions.







You can do a general keyword search from the main Thinkfinity.org homepage. You can do a more specific search by using any or all of the dropdown menus. Just remember that the more specific you are in choosing categories, the fewer results you will get.








You might also choose to invesigate a specific partner, and then search within that partner’s website. Once you get to the specific partner website you can navigate and search through the resources provided there.
