Now that we’ve all awoken from our turkey-induced comas, it’s time to catch up on the news.

  • Paul Walker, known for his roles in the Fast & Furious films, died in a car crash Saturday. Walker was a passenger in the car that hit a light pole and burst into flames.
  • Teachers are now harnessing the power of social media as teaching tools. The JS has the story of how one teacher used social media to teach students about the Constitutional Convention.

  • Google Glass is already causing problems in the restaurant industry. A patron was ejected from a restaurant in Seattle where the new technology is now allowed.
