I am looking for ideas on utilizing Canvas to keep my students up to speed on current science news/events without having to spend much monitoring, or grading time --- nor much classroom time.   Twitter embeds and other iframes of science sites; with mandatory weekly assignments, or periodic discussion groups?  Lots of possibilities, ---- is there anyone with some more specifics that have worked well in the past?
