For Teachers
With ever-shrinking school budgets for classroom resources, finding up-to-date learning materials is a real challenge for teachers. Social Studies textbooks can talk about principals and terms, but their content can only be as up-to-date as their publication time. KeepThemCurrent is the perfect addition to any Social Studies curricula. With articles written on a daily basis, by educators for children, you can rest assured that what your students will be reading is truly current, age-appropriate and respectful. There is nothing like the immediacy of a world event that occurred today to demonstrate the relevance of your lessons and make Social Studies come alive!
How It Works
Teachers can create classroom accounts and sign on their students. Articles will be sent out to those student and their responses to discussion points are then emailed back to the teacher. Now the last thing a teacher needs is something extra to mark! That is why we suggest using the responses to spark lively classroom discussions. Or perhaps choose one student a day to present her/his responses.
Content delivered at KeepThemCurrent is neutral and unbiased. The team of writers has no political or religious agenda to promote nor is it obliged to follow an editorial line that has political, ethnic, cultural, economic or social pressures of any kind.
