Scoot is an interactive, online, multimedia game designed for use by South Carolina teachers and students as a social studies resource for grades three through five. Capturing the growing potential of the Internet as an educational tool, Scoot assists teachers in stimulating student interest in, and knowledge of, South Carolina history, geography, government, and economics. Scoot is based on a publication of the South Carolina Department of Archives and History--the South Carolina Highway Historical Marker Guide*-and the South Carolina Social Studies Curriculum Standards.** All of the content in Scoot correlates to the South Carolina Social Studies Curriculum Standards for grades three through eight. One historical highway marker has been selected from each of the 46 counties in South Carolina, as presented in the South Carolina Highway Historical Marker Guide. Game questions have been derived from the historical highway marker text and from "The Kids Page" on the Web site for the South Carolina State House.
