You'll also find downloadable maps (pdf) and links to other educational resources offered by CNN.
IMPORTANT: On the Student News page there are ads for other CNN shows and a menu with links to news stories on politics, entertainment, health, money, sports, travel, etc., that are NOT part of the "CNN Student News."
Therefore, as always, parents should preview and supervise Internet access!
