Livestation is a site that allows you to watch live TV and listen to radio. The TV stations are centered around news stations, but Livestation would be a great tool for classrooms that are studying current events and want to see news from other parts of the world. There are several channels that would be of interest to teachers and provide an alternate source to news. News stations include Al Jazeera, BBC, NASA, and United Nations. A valuable news source separate from network and cable news stations that most, at least Americans, are used too. You can also watch the news from their mobile station on the iPhone and Blackberry.
Ohh, the NASA station is so cool! Imagine live updates throughout the day as you are studying space, doesn't get more real world than that.
