Digital Learning Day is coming up and there are many ways that you can participate and share. A couple great tools that you can use in your classroom right away are Newsy and Newsela.
Newsy is a video news story source that is web-based and has apps for multiple platforms. There are many news categories in Newsy that teachers can use with their whole class or students can view and analyze nonprint media and use to complete learning activities that are current and relevant.
Newsela is a web-based current events tool that has multiple lexile levels for students and many of the stories have built in quizzes that students can take to check for understanding. Teachers can also create their own quizzes and questions for students as they track their reading progress. Newsela has many different news categories that will capture students’ interests as they read and analyze narrative text.
