The digital (eEDITION) Herald-Leader contain everything print newspapers have — distinct sections, classified and display advertising, photos and graphics — but with the convenience of navigating through computers. The new weekly feature “NewsBytes for e-Editions” provides fresh content every week for using e-Editions in creative and effective ways. This feature is written live each week off the news and the school calendar. Each week it includes three separate five-activity sets of activities tiered for Elementary, Middle and High School. One activity in each age group each week explores the technology of e-Editions. All activities are written to state and national academic or technology standards, and in a 8.5-by-11 format.
We hope to hear what you think about this new curriculum. Kjohnson1@herald-leader.com
