Today's Front Pages is a dynamic feature of the Newseum website, providing pdf versions and links to prominent newspapers around the US and around the world. To access today's news in another country and in another language, view the collection via the "Map"view which allows you to choose the region of the world you want to explore. As an activity for world language students, have them research a current event that appears on the front pages of several international papers, in English and in the target language. Use this activity to not only learn about current news and culture, but to explore how a singular event is reported differently by different newspapers.

A slew of resources to help learners of all ages learn how to read and report on charts and graphs.

Great report on Technology Innovation in Education. Interesting reading and explanation of data and trends

Through a special agreement with more than 800 newspapers worldwide, the Newseum displays  front pages each day on its website. The front pages are in their original, unedited form.  I could see this being used to compare how different countries report news stories, especially international ones.  No papers from France, yet.

What I like about it is the instant progress report! I use the gradebook of BlackBoard and I don't think that they have this feature.

Interesting study and report

Sample tasks with answers that focus on how to read and write about charts and graphs. Great resource for students in EDTC 615.
