Diigo is a great new software that makes it easier for students and teachers to go through text and highlight the key points within thousands of articles. It will also print out with the text with the highlighting already done for you. This is a great tool for two reason: one it allows for the teacher to teach how to pull out information within online texts by showing numerous examples of how it is done, also it avoids students who are younger to wearing the highlighter all over their hands... you would be surprised how many 4th graders still like to draw on themselves.
This is great for middle school/high school children as they need to beable to site even more sources for research papers with ease and timeliness.
My only concern are for those (like myself) who are still eyeglass wearers... too many hours in front of the computer can really cause havac on the eye's strain.
