<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** News sources **
Articles that focus on new technologies are interesting to discuss in class. However, when the focus is on preparing skills for analyzing technical scenarios using questions (similar to the Portfolio criteria), it is important that the news article has elements from the Triangle (Area of Impact or Scenario, IT Systems, Social and Ethical Considerations, and Stakeholders).

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** Podcasts and Video Sources **

Videos are also an excellent approach to discussing news items and some new developments are best demonstrated using this approach (i.e. robotics). Podcasts can be downloaded to mobile devices or played thorough iTunes. Although videos and podcasts cannot be used as a basis for a Portfolio, it is usually possible to find a news item on the same topic and use it as a basis for the Portfolio. The video can be used as one of the sources in the bibliography.
