I found this short post and diagram really helpful and clear in how it articulates information access, selection and use, the tools, how information is extended and then how it is recalled or put into context. This might help visualize what to do with all the information that just seems to flood in, as well as that which we seek out intentionally. See what you think.  (from twitter)

This website has so much great information on it. It has ideas for lessons as well as today in history type of information. The web guides link talks about the web and how to use it properly and how to know if a site is credible. This is a tool that I found a week ago and really love it.

this site has a lot of information on it, but i don't think that the teacher keeps up with it.

You may not be sold on Twitter (yet), but take a look at these uses in ADDITION to all the great information in the education/educators community.  

Listen to the actual podcast, 14 minutes. Yes, it's from 2006. Yes it's aimed at higher-ed. However, the concepts, applications, ideas are all valid, esp for 7-12. Make podcast tours of town, local sights, etc. with historical context or other curricular relevant information and making them available to others to download - even for small town locales.

This widget follows a range of ed chats happening on twitter so you can follow the scrolling twitter stream of comments from participants. Awesome way to see the wealth of information shared on twitter while not seeing the less helpful chatter.
