Building Up your Current Events database:

imageHave a look at technology news on TV, newspapers, the internet, or magazines. Place these articles in your notebook and write a brief commentary using the ITGS News Commentary Form that demonstrates how information technology is being used to help businesses, hospitals, governments, schools, or the entertainment industry. This will help you in your essay writing and class discussions because you will have a wide variety of real-life examples and you will build a collection of news items and vocabulary words
