Izzit.org:Quality Articles and Discussion Questions for Current Events - Free!
Oct 16th, 2007 by Scott Walker
A co-teacher of mine emailed today about in interesting service today provided by Izzit.org They offer a free service for teachers wanting to cover current events in their classroom. Each day they post an important article from newspapers and magazines ranging from USA Today to the Wall Street Journal. Each article contains great key questions that can be used as discussion starters. Very few online services offer such quality and relevant articles and questions, and I figured it deserved some acknowledgment- not that it needs me based on the fact that it already serves 44,000 schools and 18 million students!
Articles like these would make for perfect coverage in student blogs, podcasts and wikis. You can find the articles here.
Thanks Linda!
Thank you for mentioning our current events service on your website! We hope to get the word out to as many teachers as possible. We’d love to find out more about your ideas for using the lessons in podcasts and wikis.
