Google has a fairly new search engine called Realtime. This tool allows users to search a specific topic, and it brings events back based on order of time from different sources like Twitter, Facebook, and CNBC. Users can edit the settings to view what day and time things were posted. Users can also change the location - either by clicking "nearby" or "everywhere" or typing in a specific location.
Realtime would be a great source in a classroom especially to see what the general public are thinking about certain events. How interesting would it be for government students to see realtime events on the internet on election day? This puts news into a different perspective, and makes it more personal for the students.
