Google Living Stories is a collaborative effort between Google, The Washington Post, and the New York Times to provide users with an easy way to track the developments of a news topic. Here's how it works; select a story from the Google Living Stories homepage then select "all coverage" (all coverage is the default) or a specific element of the the story such as "events," "people," or "resources." After you've read an element of a story it will remain gray until new information is available.
The 21st Century Information Fluency Project (21CIF) began in 2001 when the Illinois Mathematics and Science
Academy received funds from the US Department of Education to research and develop training in the largely
unexplored field of online information literacy. The mission then, which remains today, is provide professional
development and resources to help educators and students improve their ability "to locate, evaluate and use digital
information more effectively, efficiently and ethically." Great site to learn all about information literacy!
