53
historysclass11/5/20124:08 PMI like to let my kids write an article as a reporter covering the live event. #sschat

historyfriend11/5/20124:10 PM@Ron_Peck So important to look at different sources. International views are impt. I like to use AlJazeera #sschat
62
Aaron_Eyler11/5/20124:10 PMHaving different groups report on news from different sources is always fun. NYT vs WSJ vs NBC vs FOX etc. #sschat
63
MapM8ker11/5/20124:10 PM#sschat A1 Ss report on a current event using DeBono's Thinking Hats Strategy - must give report from multiple points of view!
64
classroomtools11/5/20124:10 PMThe absolute best book to show students skills to evaluate news stories is http://t.co/FNsGeDAt #sschat
65
PaulSolarz11/5/20124:10 PMA1 - We also use our green screen, Adobe After Effects, and our virtual news set to create news broadcasts: http://t.co/NvgcSLi7 #sschat
66
dawnclemens11/5/20124:10 PM@historyfriend I'm very similar to you in my approach. I need to relate everything back to the curriculum for the Regents. #sschat

69
TeachPleau11/5/20124:11 PMCan you say "swing state"? Might the popular vote be too close to call tomorrow night? #sschat #drpleausclass

73
MapM8ker11/5/20124:11 PM#sschat A1 cont. Also use the Newseum's Front Pages Around the World to view events reported in diff ways /diff cultural perspectives
74
cybraryman111/5/20124:11 PM@Aaron_Eyler Very good idea as I had students bring in same story in different newspapers. Interesting comparing them #sschat
75
Ron_Peck11/5/20124:11 PMA1: Using twitter to follow events is great for real time. You just have to teach your students how to filter. #sschat

79
runningdmc11/5/20124:13 PM@MapM8ker I do 2 things--have them eval boards from diff perspectives on Learnist, and also use FOX vs CNN on the same story:) #sschat
80
classroomtools11/5/20124:13 PM@TeachPleau As we saw in 1824, 1876, 1888 and 2000, the popular vote can be irrelevant. #sschat
81
AlanTenreiro11/5/20124:13 PMRT @TeachPleau: Don't forget to bring your ID to the polling place #election2012 #drpleausclass #sschat
82
historyfriend11/5/20124:14 PM@runningdmc Have looked at Learnist but have not quite figured how I would use it. Looks interesting. #sschat
83
BushjMS11/5/20124:14 PMRT @Aaron_Eyler: Having different groups report on news from different sources is always fun. NYT vs WSJ vs NBC vs FOX etc. #sschat
84

86
historyfriend11/5/20124:14 PM@MapM8ker Love the Newseum site but never think about it in the classroom for some reason. #sschat
87
PaulSolarz11/5/20124:15 PMI like to use http://t.co/ABvp0byd while learning about a current event to have students post their thoughts and discoveries.
