Do You i Cue?



iCue, sponsored by NBC, is an interactive learning environment that contains primary resources from NBC News Archive.

Social Studies and Language Arts curriculum comes alive when you utilize this engaging resource. One can view videos, participate in collaborative initiatives, take courses and play games on this site.

This site is best for students in grades 6-12. I especially love the acronym for iCUE:
  • i connect
  • i understand
