Essentials for the "Wired" Teacher
Master Google: OK, we all use it, but make sure you know how to search like a pro. Here are a few ideas that will really help: 1. Make a custom RSS feed. First, search a topic, click “news” then “sort by date” then click “RSS” on the bottom left. Copy and paste the new url in your RSS aggregator (like Google Reader). 2. Limit searches by domain or geographical origin. After your search terms, type “site:” search followed by either domains (“org” or “edu”) to search for only those sites OR use a country’s two-letter code to return news items only from that country. 3. Use the “options” feature after a search. This will give you access to valuable applications such as the “Wonder wheel” or “Timeline.” Try it! These are just a couple of the many hidden search features that Google offers.

November Learning - Directing Learning with Google Custom Search
Would you teach your students to read without teaching them to write? Probably not. Educators know that linking these two pieces together makes for a more complete learning experience. Transferring this knowledge into the world of online search, does it make sense to teach students to search without teaching them what’s involved in creating and managing a search engine?

Even with the addition of Google Sites, Google isn't offering Sharepoint-like functionality. For those that don't know, "Sharepoint" isn't just online collaboration and document sharing. It's a suite of products and technologies that offer functionality and access to all data across all applications, even line-of-business applications.
Google Reader
I have been using various RSS readers for nearly five years now - I've tried them all. However, none matches the power of Google Reader. I have found that if you tap into all of its features, it's the Holy Grail of Personal Knowledge Management.
