For Students
Technological advance is making the world a smaller place everyday. With one click you could be messaging to a friend across the globe, while watching MTV and downloading this week's top ten songs. If all this is possible today, imagine what the future holds in terms of world access. That's why now is the time to start getting informed of what's going on in world around you. Knowledge of current events at the international level will serve you well in today's cosmopolitan society where the people you meet everyday come from different countries around the world.
Knowing about news outside the borders of your own country demonstrates broad-mindedness, sensitivity, intelligence . qualities that impress everyone from friends and family to teachers and prospective employers.
KeepThemCurrent is like a virtual journey around the globe and, like real traveling, opens doors to a world of opportunities. Why not make the most of a time in your life when you have the most time and energy for learning new things? Instead of spending all your web time surfing, messaging and gaming, you can put less than 10 minutes a day towards building bridges of knowledge around the world.
How It Works
Aa parent or teacher creates an account and signs you on. We send you articles that read like tidbits of news, followed by mind-stimulating questions for you to answer. Your responses get emailed to your parent and the dialogue swings into motion. Instead of dealing with the same old "What did you learn in school today?" question, you can have some common ground with your parents and talk about what's happening on another continent and its effects on all of us. It's worth it just to see the look on someone's face when you bring up an important international issue at the dinner table!
