Thanks to a link from Doug Belshaw, a friend of mine on twitter, I found that Google is archiving news articles from major newsprint sources online. Want to find out what journalists of the time wrote about the Titanic sinking, or articles covering Babe Ruth’s move from Boston to New York. What did the New York Times report verses the Los Angeles Times? What did the critics think when Oliver! premiered on Broadway on January 6, 1963? This is exactly the type of thinking that we want our students to be doing in our classrooms, and now they can. While not all of these articles are available yet they will be soon. Check out the post from the Official Google Blog to find out about this project.

Blogging Rules!
1. Please, no last names, phone numbers or addresses. This is a school site. This is no place for personal information.
2. Do not link to your personal blog/journal from your school blog; you might reveal information on there that you don't want to reveal on your school blog. Also, only link to sites that you have evaluated and are willing to stand behind the content of the site.
3. If you want to write your opinion on a topic, make sure you are critical of the idea and not of the author.
4. Never disrespect someone else in your blog, whether it's a person, an organization, or just a general idea. You don't want someone making a stab at what you are passionate about; don't do it to someone else.
6. Don't write about other people without permission.
7. Watch your language! We're not at home, we are at school, consider your blogs just like a class assignment you would turn in on paper. Keep it professional looking.
8. Make sure things you write about are factual. Don't be posting about things that aren't true.
9. Keep your blog education-oriented.

Google News Archive search looks great and I fully intend to use it in my teaching. Can’t wait to teach Cuban Missile Crisis, etc. again!
