At this moment in history when so many of teachers feel constantly pressed for time and deluged with information, they need to rethink why they address, or do not address, current events in K-8 classrooms. Children are persistently interacting with images on screens of all sizes and shapes. Teachers need to consider how they can best use their understanding of powerful social studies learning and students' access to information to help foster creative, involved young citizens in a digital age. To this end, the author offers a guide for selecting current events items and resources for finding them. The author hopes this guide will help teachers efficiently identify current events items that support meaningful instruction for engaged citizenship in a technologically connected world.
