 * Million Futures || Not really news but a sharing opportunity to see the fears/concerns/ thoughts for the future. ||
 * [|10 X 10] ||  ||
 * [|Finding Dulcinea] ||  ||
 * [|izzit] || This is not a very good website. This is because there are other current news websites that are better than this. It also doesn't have that many stored and the ones that it does have is hard to access. ||
 * [|Newseum] || Newseum is a very useful website because it is the website of Washington D.C.'s Newseum, a meseum about newspapers and general news throughout the years. However, the website is even more interesting than the museum because it shows daily newspaper edits from countries all over the world. It is very fast-loading, and the navigation is logical, but I don't like that some of the newspapers are in another language, and so you can not read the news from that place. You could use this software in English for writing about the world today, or in Humanitites to find out about history from its records. ||
 * [|BBC News] || I think that this is a very handy recent news site because it is directly linked to BBC on the TV and there are a lot of news enquiries on BBC. This website also points out its top stories in all the different sections (science, technology, politics etc.) The downside to this website is that it is not very easy to find the link that leads to the rest of the stories not only the top stories. This website could be very handy while you are busy doing your Daily Geography because you always have to find a recent news article for daily geography. This website has proved to be very handy during my last few daily geographies, in my opinion I have never had a bad article before.

BBC News is a very useful news website. It provided news from education, politics, health and much more. This website has so much information about so many news stories and much more. This software is intended to tell news about everything and it does it has so much news about so many interesting things. I like that it has news from everywhere around the world. I don't dislike anything. This software could be used for a class doing a project on a current news event or about weather changes.

BBC News is a useful news site that provides news about whats going on in other parts of the world, solar system, politics, weather, peoples health, sports and much much more. BBC News provides you with an article, pictures and sometimes a video. There is news from everywhere in the world. From the war in Afghanistan to the flooding in Australia. BBC News would be good for school projects is you were doing something about weather, or researching things around the world. I think this is a very good website if you are looking for news. ||
