Current Events

In my opinion, one of the greatest advantages to the Internet age as related to the classroom are that it allows students, teachers, etc. to have immediate access to the realities of world issues. When most of us think back to our own youth, the Internet was not yet in use by the public, there were no MAC/ATM machines, cell phones were certainly never heard of and the idea of walking around with a gadget smaller than a playing card that could hold 1,000s of songs, videos, movie was unthinkable. On this entry, I've linked to two sites I thought were very topical for students...especially those who might actually be old enough to vote in this upcoming presidential election.
