SmithsonianTweenTribune app for iPhone and iPad

SmithsonianTweenTribune allows students in middle school to read daily news articles written to Grade levels 5-8, post comments about the stories they read and take quizzes on the articles. Teachers moderate all comments before the comments are posted. SmithsonianTweenTribune helps to promote an informed, literate and civil electorate with the support of the Smithsonian Institution, a trust instrumentality of the United States established by an Act of Congress in 1846 “for the increase and diffusion of knowledge."
