Paper.li - Be a publisher - 1 views

  •  
    "Turn Twitter and Facebook into online newspapers in just a few clicks." The design is fun--looks like a newspaper, with a ToC on the side linking to articles. Students could make a newspaper out of their Web finds, or teachers could create the "news" for their students' study. For an example for teachers, see The Online Educator by Sandra A. Rogers

    This newsreader creates a newspaper-like collection of news from your favorite sources. You select a layout (one or two columns) and insert links to the newspapers or blogs that you want to have fed in. Good step-by-step directions. Might be very useful for more advanced students as a daily reading activity, or with writing students to capture each other's blogs and a reader-friendly format.

Newseum | Today's Front Pages | Map View - 3 views

  •  
    "The Newseum displays these daily newspaper front pages in their original, unedited form. Some front pages may contain material that is objectionable to some visitors. Viewer discretion is advised." This would be very handy, and easy to use, for adult ESL/EFL, social studies classes, or cross-cultural study: What is considered important in each location? How is the same news story treated differently in different cities or different parts of the world? Excellent for visual learners.
  •  
    This would be very useful for h.s. social studies or an adult ESL/EFL class where students can compare how the news is presented in different newspapers, or compare what is considered important in different cultures.

Learning Never Stops: 4 websites for creating student projects - 1 views

    These are 4 websites/tools I hadn't heard of before, and any of them would be very useful for student projects. Mural.ly lets students collaborate on posters by emai invite. Wor Draw turns out professional-looking flyers, resumes, and newsletters-- good for a class newspaper. Tackk lets you add pictures, videos, and music from various social websites, and Picovico is perhaps the mos impressive because it creates videos from your photos and text. (Thanks to M. Sheehan.)

Newsy | Multisource Video News Analysis - 1 views

  •  
    Newsy.com is a multi-source online video news site that monitors, analyzes and presents the world's news coverage. In an increasingly connected world, access to multiple sources of news is in demand by global citizens. News sources are abundant yet redundant. Newsy.com delivers context with convenience to help keep you better informed. Through short video segments available on the web and mobile devices, Newsy.com offers a way to accelerate your global understanding of a news story. Newsy.com takes a step back to show how the world's news organizations are reporting a story - providing an unprecedented global and macro point of view. You'll find CNN right next to Al Jazeera, the BBC right next to ABC. Newsy.com also covers major newspapers, news magazines as well as top blogs from around the world. Like FORA.tv, this site presents current news, but with the added feature of allowing students to compare various news sources.

Free Technology for Teachers: Two Ways to Explore the News Through Maps - 0 views

  •  
    "When teaching students about current events I have always tried to incorporate maps so that students can make a connection to the places that they are reading about. I do this if the story is about something happening in Africa or something happening twenty miles down the road from our community. Newspaper Map and the Breaking News map are both helpful in showing students the connections between story subjects and their corresponding locations." T/H to R. Byrne

Using Photos to Support Reading and Writing - 7 views

  •  
    Photos can stimulate emotions, memories, and discussion. I've used photos, either cut from magazines or the local newspaper, or taken by students themselves, to teach reading and writing both overseas and with middle school students in the US. This blog article has some nice times for using photos to learn language, motivate students, and encourage reading and writing. See the companion article for online photos to inspire.
