Digital Social Studies and Writing Resources

If you are looking for digital social studies and writing resources, you’ve come to the right place!

I created this blog post to be a quick reference so that you can easily see all of the digital resources available in my Teachers Pay Teachers store.

Let’s dive in!

I create two types of digital resources: Interactive Google Slides resources with moveable pieces and digital, type-ready layers over printable resources in my Teachers Pay Teachers store.

Google Slides Resources with Moveable Pieces

This example shows what my Google Slides resources with moveable pieces can allow students to do. This particular slide is from my Bill of Rights Unit (for use with Google Slides.)

Digital, Type-Ready Layers Over My Printable Resources

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we have to pay more for the digital, type-ready layer on top of your pdf resources? No! Once you’ve purchased one of my printable pdf resources, you will be able to access the digital, type-ready layer for free.

Can I add text to the digital layer pages? Yes! Teachers can customize the digital, type-ready layer before assigning it to their students in Google Classroom.

I want to purchase one of your bundles but the bundle doesn’t have the “Digital Tag” on it. How can I make sure this bundle is digital? Great question! You need to look at each individual resource page. Bundles are made of individual resources, so each resource can be made digital by looking at the resource page.

What if I really need one of your resources to be digital and type-ready but the layer is not created yet? Good news! Teachers can also add a digital layer to any of my TPT resources. Click here for an informational page from Teachers Pay Teachers that will show you how to add the layer yourself in only 5 minutes!

  • I purchased some of your units last year. (loved them) do I need to download them again to get the digital layer?

    • Hi Patricia! You can go to each individual resource page on TPT and you’ll see the digital layer button. You can customize your digital layer or use the one I’ve made to assign your students!
