Newseum

Becky Inda, 6th grade teacher at Woodfield Elementary, shared the website Newseum:Front Pages with the Social Studies 6-8 Team when we met for our Articulation Meeting this week.  It has newspapers from around the world and is appropriate for use for teachers and probably 5/6-8th grade students.

Becky taught us how to work with Newseum and Google to translate the information so that we could read newspapers from around the world.  How neat!  Thanks Becky for sharing this with us -- and then helping me share out to all of you.

I personally love reading international newspapers from places I have visited or look forward to visiting some day.  The perspective on the news is, of course, quite different sometimes and is key for us as Global Citizens to know about.

Steps to Translate -
1. pick a newspaper from the Front Pages Newseum website
2. go the newspaper website (there is a button on the newspaper site to click)
3. If you are logged into Chrome, a pop-up will ask you if you want the paper translated

This is exciting!
