Google Fast Flip has been released. I will be using it in my classes tomorrow. When you type in a topic, Fast Flip will find it major publications. Click on each thumbnail to read the story. This is a fast way to digest a large quantity of information.
Here are some plans I have for it over the next few weeks:
- current event discussions
- looking for examples of grammatical constructions
- examining visual rhetoric
- searching for logical fallacies
- looking for vocabulary words in context
I would LOVE to know some of your ideas. Please leave any you have in the comments.
Stumble it!
