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.

ssay Map is one of my favourite web tools that I have been repeatedly recommending for teachers. Essay Map, as its name indicates, is a tool that helps students with their essay writings. It is an interactive graphic organizer that provides students with a step by step guidance through the process of developing a robust outline to their essays.

Essay Map is ideal for that.
