CNN Student News is a series of ten minute videos put out every day by CNN about world events put in slightly simpler terms for students to grasp. I remember enjoying these videos in school and my teachers using them to help students stay informed about current events. In light of Geofest I thought it was appropriate to bring up this resource. I’m thinking these videos are intended for high school and middle school students but I would like to use them in possibly upper elementary as well. So I’m wondering if anyone thinks it’s possible to use these videos with elementary students or if they are familiar with them in their own schooling?
