In today's world I think that it is important that everyone be updated on the news of what is going on around the world. I know that we do not all have time to read the paper or look at online news sources. I believe that it is important as educators to keep students up to date on what is going on in the world. This is why I think that the CNN student news site is great for students to watch on a regular basis. It is a short video that talks about what is going on in the world and things that are related to the younger generations. Teachers could assign students to summarize it weekly or even let there students watch is a couple times a week. Having the knowledge of what is going on in the world is powerful and can help students feel smarter and more connected to the world.
