A couple of the schools we visited on our site visits last week impressed me with their international “feel,” and I’ve been thinking about how we can bring more international connections into our curriculum here (both in the library and in general).  

So I was pleased to rediscover the Newseum (a news museum that will open in the fall in D.C.) which has a handy tool on their site–a daily display of 576 newspaper front pages.   (This site has been around for awhile, but they have updated it with new features.) 

You can find the papers you want from a list, a map view, or a pull down list of regions.  There are national as well as many international newspaper front pages, so it’s useful for government, foreign language, history, etc.

If you select the “analysis” button, you’ll also find daily analysis and comparisons of the front pages of about 10 major newspapers.  They also have a “today in history” feature about a news story from the past.  It’s a nifty tool for bringing international content into your classroom.
