Today I researched Google-News and found this tool to be useful and interesting.  Google-News is a computer generated news site that collects headlines from various news sources worldwide.  It groups similar stories together, and each reader can choose to display the news stories according to their own preferences and interests.

 In general, when I want to read the news, I choose a news-site and then look for headlines that interest me. With Google-News I am able to view several articles on a single story at the same time.  This ensures that each story is represented by a wider variety of perspectives.
Some people might not enjoy Google-News because they only enjoy reading news stories written by people who share their own conservative or liberal views.  Another reason why people might prefer traditional news is because they would rather view different stories as opposed to being overloaded with many stories on the same given topic.  
As a teacher, I would find this tool useful especially while teaching about the presidential elections.  Since every news site has a different slant, I would be able to present the candidates as they are viewed by different parts of society.  This would encourage a healthy discussion among the students and teach them to think for themselves while learning about our wonderful democratic system of government.  It would also broaden their outlook and teach them to view issues from different perspectives.  Students would then be able to think and learn out of the box.
I think I might enjoy using this tool in the future.  Do you prefer Google-News to traditional news?
