How many times have you found a great article or webpage that you'd like to share with students, only to hit "print" and find the copy is too full of other "junk?" Comments, advertisements, and pictures take up a lot of space, and aren't always student-friendly. Sure, you can get your scissors and tape and remove the offending material, but it takes time and can be quite messy.
There IS an easier way. Try PrintFriendly - a simple site that makes any webpage easy to read and easy to print. You copy and paste the URL into the bar, and your information appears in an editable format. You can delete words, paragraphs, or entire sections of the article.

You can also save a copy as a pdf file for later use. PrintFriendly is another great tool for teachers. There's no cost and no sign-up! PrintFriendly also has a toolbar add-on to make using their site even easier, though it's not necessary. Give it a try!
Joliprint is another easy-to-use option for printing web articles. Like PrintFriendly, users copy and paste the URL into the bar on their site to view a pdf file. They also have a toolbar add-on, similar to PrintFriendly. The downside is that the pdf file cannot be edited before printing (unless you have Adobe's software). If you plan to edit the material, try PrintFriendly first.
Either tool makes it simple and quick to print material from the Web. Give them a try!
