I've been looking at some of the web tools that can be used by students on the Opal site - '15 Web Tools..' for students. Of interest to me as a student are:
1. www.easybib.com/ www.ottobib.com/ and CiteMe which is a facebook application. These are very useful for creating accurate bibliographies and finding sources.
2. GoogleDocs (www.google.com/accounts) is a free online word processing and spreadsheet application which is great for online collaboration. Files can be accessed from anywhere. Definitely worth checking out.
3. Delicious is a free bookmarking application useful for collection web resources you are using under a single tag. www.delicious.com/
4. Zolero looks to be very useful if doing research. It is Firefox extension to help collect, manage, & cite your research sources and is accessed in web browser. www.zotero.org/
