Cruxbot is an interesting new web tool that helps to summarize web pages. With a simple bookmarklet tool, this tool reads through any site - presumably with a large amount of text - and it summarizes the content. The summary can be lengthened or shortened by the user and users can even identify keywords to focus the learning on a particular issue. Very cool idea which works fairly well.

It's an exciting time in education - more online learning resources are available every day, and they are more accessible than ever. But it's difficult for students to construct meaning from the wide range of material. So how can students actively engage with the content rather than passively consume it? Ideaphora is the first browser-based knowledge mapping tool that integrates with online content for limitless educational possibilities. Ideaphora enables students to take notes and organize material, connect ideas, analyze information, and apply their knowledge - all in one screen. By building and sharing knowledge maps, students develop higher order thinking skills and visual learning techniques, critical for college and career readiness. Learn more

Bounce is a neat application that not only allows you to make annotated screen captures of websites but also allows you to instantly share those screen captures with others. To use Bounce, type in the url of any website then click "Bounce." Bounce will then create an image of that website on which you can draw boxes and annotate those boxes. You can create as many boxes and notes as you like. When you're done creating notes, Bounce will provide you with a unique url for your screen captures that you can share with others. If you create a Bounce account (optional) you and other Bounce users can annotate the same screen capture.
