Easy print directly to PDF from a website w/ editing ability.

You no longer need to have a PDF writer or creator program to print a Web page or Web Article as a PDF. Another great FREE web resource for everyone is Print Friendly. Once the article is printed you have access to it offline as well as the ability to take it into programs like MS OneNote and add notes or a PDF annotation program. Printing the articles as PDFs verses traditional paper copies also helps the environment. 


Distribution is also easier since you email the PDF or upload to a learning management software (such as Moodle or Canvas), social educational networking programs like EdModo, or even blogs and websites.

Check it out: Print Friendly (www.printfriendly.com)

At their website simply copy and paste the URL of the article or webpage and it will create you a PDF of that page/article. There is also an option to use Print Friendly's quick bookmark option on your iPads. Unique to the iPad once you have an PDF you can work with the PDF in a variety of annotation APPs. Through the annotation APPs, you and your students can write, take notes, highlight, insert additional info, and more.

To Share is to Care - 200+ FREE Websites and Tech Resources

 While sorting files I stumbled across this great tech resource document with over 200 FREE websites and technology resources I created last fall for my fellow teachers. 

If any of the links do not work or you find an issue with a resource such as a free sight is no longer free, please let me know so I can keep the resource list current. If you know of a site that isn't listed (which I am sure there are many) like please share the site info with us.
