Cheryl Mason Bolick is an assistant professor in the School of Education and a former social studies classroom teacher. Currently, she teaches courses in the Culture, Curriculum and Change Program, the M.Ed. Program for Experienced Teachers and the Elementary Education Program. Bolick’s scholarly interests center on how technology is integrated into the social studies classroom.

She is intrigued by the use of digital library resources for social studies teaching and learning and currently collaborates with the University’s Documenting the American South collection to develop curriculum materials and conduct research on how the collection is used in the classroom.

Bolick is active in both the social studies profession and the field of technology integration. She has served on the College and University Faculty Association (CUFA) executive board of the National Council of the Social Studies, on the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education (SITE) social studies planning committee and has chaired the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) technology committee.
