If you want to introduce your students to current events/history
http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/ is an excellent source. I was particularly drawn to this site because of its children’s blog pages under their “community” tab. National geographic monitors and selects the most exceptional recent posts they find and post them for students to read. This is a fun way for students to learn about the use of blogs for educational purposes. I also like that the blogs are all done by children which makes them so much more relatable to our students. The posts are from children all around the world sharing their experiences visiting historical sites, social studies related books they loved, and the cultures that they live in. The blog page itself can be found at http://kidsblogs.nationalgeographic.com/blogs/.
