Tech Tip Tuesday: App Provides 3 Sides to Every Story

This tip is brought to you by Richard Byrne at Free Tech 4 Teachers:

"Perspecs is a new app that aims to provide users with three sides to every news story. On Monday through Friday the free Android and iPhone app offers a selection of articles about current topics in the news. The topics could be breaking news or they could be topics of a more evergreen nature like national education systems.

I tested Perspecs on my Android phone by selecting one of Friday's topics which was 'Is China Best for Education?' The app then presented me with three articles on the topic. Each article took a different position on the topic. I was able to read all of the articles within the app."

You and your students can use Perspecs to easily find a balanced selection of news sources and multiple perspectives on current events.
