Early this morning I stumbled across a neat site, Great Summary (thank you, Delicious). The website does exactly what the name suggests; it provides a great summary of text you paste in, or webpages whose URL you give it.

I’ve only tried a few pages, but the summary does seem pretty good. How well this website may summarize your pages probably depends a lot of how well written they were, but you’re probably not having your students learn from really disorganized websites anyways.

If this site works as well as my initial tests, it should be really useful helping weaker students glean information, or even stronger students working with material that’s a bit above their heads.

I’m looking for an excuse to play with this site.
