If you teach Social Sciences you will talk about Primary Sources. Here is a great summary of sources by Glenn Wiebe and Dan Krutka. To see the pdf click here.
According to commonsense.org, "After setting up a classroom, you can connect your students to pen pals and high-quality learning experiences. Many of the experiences are from partners such as the Smithsonian Institute and McGraw-Hill. Teachers can also draft their own learning experience to bring classrooms together from around the world.
The site has incorporated several safety measures to create a moderated communication platform. To ensure legitimate educators are using ePals, site administrators review new members before they're approved and before they can interact with other users." To see the website click here.

With under lockdown in Ontario I thought this might be of use in a Social Science class. From the National Archives UK, "How did the state react to epidemic outbreaks during the Medieval and Early Modern period?
In this talk you'll learn about Henry VIII’s attitudes to infectious disease, Tudor social distancing, and the introduction of the first government quarantine measures in 1517 in response to repeated outbreaks of both plague and ‘sweating sickness’, as well as the widespread reaction to these measures.
The talk was delivered on 12 June 2020 by Dr Euan Roger, Principal Medieval Records Specialist at The National Archives."
This site is catered to our US friends but it might be of some interest to Canadian Social Science teachers. According to their website, "The Historical Scene Investigation Project (HSI) was designed for social studies teachers who need a strong pedagogical mechanism for bringing primary sources into their classroom. With the advent and accessibility of the internet, many libraries, universities and government agencies are housing their historical documents online. Simultaneously, there has been a push in K-12 history education to give students experiences that more closely resemble the work of a real historian."
