Print Friendly & PDF
This tool allows you to cut out all the unnecessary "extra junk" on a website you might use for class. Have you ever found a good online resource only to discover that the "extra content" at that site is a little questionable? Or have you found that some content would simply be distracting to students and draw them away from the intended material? Look no further! Check out PrintFriendly & PDF.

I (Eric) have always liked using this Chrome Extension for students who need to get resources for research projects and other curriculum-related needs. When a student-requested site (that happens to be blocked) could be considered a little "questionable" due to the extra content on the page, I have turned to this tool. Many times, I have taken the site link that students have shared with me, turned it printer friendly, and deleted out the unnecessary content. I then share the PDF version of the file with the student(s) via email. It's so easy and convenient to do!
