prompt #5

I like to view various sources for news, local, national and international. Often I will compare the information from one site to the information on another. I look for biases, subtle and/or obvious, I look for political agendas and often I follow up cited articles and/or links. Most news sites contain the same information, however, some are skewed to sway the reader to believe or not believe certain points of a story. To achieve the five ISTE educational standards for teachers I would teach my students how to analyze and evaluate various wbesites. To specifically foster creativity and assessment I would have my students design a blog page and assign each a job to report about various local news.
