Commonplace books offer students a place to collect ideas, reflections, observations, and anything related to reading and writing.

Having students keep a commonplace book on their reading assignments will help them think about readings and reflect upon the ideas.

Add a URL at The Readability Test Tool site to determine the reading level of the page.

This site can be useful for determining the level of reading on a given Web page.

The Ultimate Research Assistant returns results.

From the site: "Gives birth to an instant, engaged community around any topic."

Ask a question, brainstorm, debate, prioritize at this site.

Bibkosh allows users to curate and archive knowledge, collaborate and share it with people.

Jog the Web allows users to create a list of online sources. I've used the site with students conducting research. The students collect their sources and create a jog of their material.

I have found some really useful Web tools through this group. I am using Scoop.it with a group of Freshman Comp I students who are working on research papers. After the students chose their topics, I asked them to create accounts in Scoop.it and collect their resources there. Once they had collected the sources, they had to evaluate them to see if the sources would be suitable for an academic research paper. I would like to know if anyone else is using Scoop.it and how. In a recent Diigo collection, I found wallwisher.com. I immediately created a wall so that my students could post haikus in one class while another class posted tips on writing essays on a separate wall.
