Community reviews for Journalism in Action

This service adds a valuable addition to the integration of primary sources in the classroom, giving students the ability to work with them in a way that questions both their biases and the biases of the source in question. It does this by asking its users to "investigate" and analyze sources, allowing them to sleuth their way to a greater appreciation of the importance of these sources, ranging from the obscure to the well-known. Thinking specifically of the SAMR framework, I believe this fits squarely into the category of "Augmentation," in how it gets students started on analyzing and interpreting primary sources in a way that uses the capabilities of technology in a way that is transformative beyond what merely placing a printout for study in class can not.
