NIE or Newspapers in Education is the use of the newspaper as an additional "textbook" and an invaluable classroom resource. The newspaper can be used to provide lessons in basic reading, mathematics, politics, science, social studies, geography and critical thinking. NIE can be carried out at all levels of education and the lessons can be designed to tie in with the national school curriculum.
The Medicine Hat News' own Newspaper in Education department is proud to support students and educators by offering an extensive selection of educational experiences and resource packages.
