A Cool New Tool- Print Friendly

I just came across this new tool, or it's new to me. It's called Print Friendly.  If you are like me you often find yourself with a web page or article that you might like to print off of the Internet or you have students who are doing research and want to print from web pages that have all the extra "stuff" that isn't needed. We've all seen it. The printer in the computer lab has 22 pages that just printed out, it's jumbled with ads, other information and really all the student wanted was two paragraphs. You know what I'm talking about. So here's the solution, Print Friendly. 

Print Friendly lets you get rid of the extra "stuff" that isn't needed. You simply copy and paste the URL of the document you want onto their site and click. You'll then get a document that allows you to do a variety of things such as delete images, boxes of texts, resize or change fonts, and save as a PDF. You can even install a bookmarklet that allows you to simply click a button on your browser's task bar whenever you are on a site you want to print. You can save or print your final versions. And- you can even email your document if you wish.
