TIME

The TIME news website is a great source of information on current events and issues around the world. On the front page of the website, you notice tabs all the way at the top that read: U.S, World, Politics, Ideas, Health, Entertainment, Tech, and Business.

All sorts of learners can find useful current information that will help them make connections with what they learn in the classroom and their textbooks.  The section "Ideas" provides a very interesting collections of issues that the world currently faces, as well as history that is connected with those issues. For example, social studies students in secondary school are learning about xenophobia. In the Ideas section of the TIME news website, is an article labeled "How We Can Fight the Trump Administration's Xenophobia." Students can write a reflection paper connecting what they learned in their class with what the article discusses.

I really love the TIME news website, because it offers so much current information, and interesting ideas that can be used in the classroom to enhance student learning, by "bridging the gap" between the classroom and the real world.
