I could write an incredibly long post on using the Internet to do research. I am just too busy to do so today! I have run across a couple of tools that can help students capture specific information on the Web along with the link and organize that information in a neat and concise way.
Google Notebook
Google Notebook is a free service offered by Google that provides a simple way to save and organize clips of information when conducting research online. This personal browser tool permits a user to write notes, and to clip text, images, and links from pages during browsing. These are saved to an online "notebook" with sharing and collaboration features. Notes can be added to each clip for ease of organization. If you have the Google toolbar version 5, it allows for a mini window to place your notes in.
Clipmarks
Clipmarks is similar to Google Notebook in that you can save specific information from a web page. The Clipmarks plugin lets you clip specific pieces of web pages, then share what you clip with your friends on Facebook, MySpace or anywhere else. Unlike bookmarks that let you share a link to an entire page, our free clip button lets you capture and share the highlights from the page. Clips can also be saved privately, emailed or printed.
