Free educational resources, including lesson plans, artifacts and unique videos support learning in history, media literacy and civics.
This summer I attended the world’s largest technology conference in education, ISTE, together with 24.000 others. A couple of days ago I blogged about BookCreator. Another bit of news is NewseumED. I have visited Newseum in Washington D.C. and found it very interesting. That is why I was fascinated to find out they have free educational resources on the net. With the new digitalisation demands in mind, NewseumED has several lesson plans on Media literacy, including  E.S.C.A.P.E. Junk News and Is This Story Share-Worthy?, both especially recommended by Barbara Pearson, NewseumED Outreach Coordinator. Registration is required to get full access, but it’s free. Go here to register. Once you are in, you will find loads of other valuable resources. These two links are now added in WebEnglish.se theme on Digitalisation.
