The challenge of teaching current events is that a story that was huge six months ago is easily forgotten and replaced with another big news story. That doesn't mean that teachers and students should forget about the previous big story. The Haiti Aid Map could be a good resource for revisiting the story(ies) of the earthquake in Haiti.
