CNN Student News Review

Hey, when you get a chance check out http://www.cnn.com/studentnews/. What a cool way to introduce current events and increase student interest in learning what is happening around the world. The site has a 10 minute feature each day for students to view. It is available on a podcast so students can view it anytime after. The site also has tools to help teachers create lessons or current events. Students can sign up to receive emails daily. One really neat feature is where students can report on local news events and send it to CNN for possible additions to air. What a great way to generate interest. Students can sound off about stories and chat. Transcripts and maps are also available. A section is ready for possible careers related to the news site. This is a must for any teacher to consider.
