If you do not have access to a computer lab with enough computers for everyone or a class set of laptops, you can have the students work together in small groups. If you do have access to enough computers, but only for a limited time, you can have the student use websites or an online encyclopedia. Between your Social Studies textbook and another book, students should be able to find enough information if you only have them use one of the internet resources.
