For very current topics, also consider:
  • Google Blog Search and Technorati to find blogs on your topic
  • Use Twitter Search to find real time information. Enter a keyword search, then check links in tweets and follow hashtags of interest. 
  • Use Scoop.it to find topics of interest. Then, create your own personal page of articles of interest. Here are directions to get started. Complete this form to share your Scoop.it with Mr. Westerberg.

Polling
Sometime the information you need requires that you poll and gather data. Google Forms, an option available through Google Drive, is a very easy way to create a poll form.
