McCain Wins

I've posted a series of discussion questions related to Senator McCain capturing the Republican nomination here.

Here I want to ask how educators might use modern technology to help students understand the Presidential elections. You might consider having students read about the candidates' backgrounds on Wikipedia. But, even better challenge students to find something interesting about a candidate that they could add to his/her wikipedia profile. Where could students look online to find out this interesting information? Would it be possible to call somebody for some help in this regard?

Newsweek's educational site has a fantastic collection of lessons related to this year's elections. Though it's only open to members, it has a lot to offer.

What else can you think of?
