The thing I found most useful is the google news search by topic that can feed to your reader - http://www.google.com/reader/view/#overview-page. Since I teach a course on Race, Class, & Gender, I was able to enter "social class", "racism", and "gender inequality" in order to find possible articles - and they'll keep on coming. My class is currently zeroing in on a topic related to race that they want to study in depth, and once that's decided, I'll enter their specific topic to find more.
Not as successful for me was http://education.alltop.com/. I kept trying to enter similar searches as above but wasn't getting to anything. I found it very confusing. I also could not figure out how to search within the actual Google Reader - http://google.com/reader. I couldn't find the "discover" button, which is supposed to be the first step. I may be blind.
