Web Page Highlighter September 23, 2008

Angela Maiers tweeted about another cool tool. The Awesome Highlighter lets you highlight text from a web page, and then gives you an address you can share with your students. I can see this tool used by both teachers and students, especially when teaching note taking, summarizing, skimming, and research. Here is an example of an earlier post with added highlights. It would be nice if you could also draw with the highlighter so you could circle things. I also haven’t figured out a way to highlight pictures. Notes can be added, but they seem too limited in the number of characters in the note. So it doesn’t do everything, but what it does is awesome!
