James Kornegay on 29 Aug 10I assume everyone's seen this site. If you haven't it summarizes texts and information. But it's one of my least favorite sites, as an English guy. It just cheats kids out of thinking for themselves. It's not 21st century learning-students don't learn to think or read critically, they just regurgitate the information they read here, which does more harm than good.

Angela Wilkerson on 20 Jan 11This site is a favorite of my students, but not one of mine. I have reservations about this site because it teaches our kids that they do not have to pick up a book and read it. It encourages them in a sense to be lazy.

This was becoming popular when I was in high school. Instead of reading a book - just learn about it online. Just another website that makes it easier for students not to learn. (4 of 5 least favorite websites).

I dislike this website because students feel as though they can use this instead of reading the book that is required of them. A lot of times, it even gives false or inaccurate information about the book being searched or read. It only provides students with overviews and chapter summaries and takes away from the details that they could be reading in the actual book.
