Just in time

I love it when the world changes just in time for work that's going on in the classroom. Mr. Rayburn's students, who need to know what was going on in the world the year they were born, will be pleased to find out that Time Magazine just put most of its archive online. Though we can get to these articles through one of our database subscriptions, it's cool to see the color covers on the Time website. I got great results by typing "news" in the subject line and then specifying a year.

But that's not all. Ever-evolving Google now has a news archive search. Mr. Rayb's students are best off to go straight to the advanced search, where they can specify a date or year (note that you MUST enter a search term). Select "no price" for a best shot at finding the free stuff.

And, of course, there's always the class project page for more helpful hints.
