I’m currently viewing: The Washington Post and Chicago Jazz Ensemble
There are great feature articles in The Washington Post. I like that the trending topics are easy to find because the design is not too cluttered and there’s a consistent layout. It’s great for helping me keep track of key news items and keeping up with business features that interest me.
I’m also enjoying Chicago Jazz Ensemble. This site showcases local jazz artists, upcoming concert dates and provides ticket information. I enjoy taking my family out to see these shows, which makes this site a trusted resource.

I’m currently viewing: YouTube
I like using YouTube to illustrate as many things as possible. Today we were talking about strategic planning and how a mission statement is a key part of that. So I played a clip from Jerry Maguire where Tom Cruise’s character creates a mission statement that’s pretty good and a helpful illustration for my students. I search YouTube for advertising examples. It’s a good resource for helpful illustrations or a concept. I find it very valuable.

Yahoo News helps keep me up on what’s going on in the world.
