Thing 12: Do You Digg?

Tools such as Digg, Mixx, and Newsvine can be very valuable. Teachers can use them to find current events of interest that relate to their subject matter. Students are more successful in a subject area if they are able to connect it with something that interests them. The sites above help teachers (or anyone else) to find articles about current events of interest. I like how Digg, Mixx, and Newsvine provide tabs with subject areas. If I wanted to find an article/story related to health or science, I simply click on that tab.
