Cool Example #3 - Wikipedia
Suppose you are a physics student and you want to learn more about the subject of relativity. You could potentially end up spending hours clicking on links in Wikipedia, opening and closing Web pages to research Einstein's theory of relativity. Or, you can use ChunkIt! to get the information you need quickly with these few easy steps.
Go to www.wikipedia.org and type Einstein theory of relativity in to its home page search box.
A Web page filled with search results related to this topic displays. However, the sheer number of embedded links and external links may be rather daunting. Once again, wouldn't it be nice to be able to research further
and quickly determine which of the dozens of links on the Wikipedia page to click on?
ChunkIt! can assist you. Suppose you now want to see how Einstein's theory relates to Maxwell's equations.
Simply refine your search, by entering Maxwell's equation into the ChunkIt! search box and click the
button.
You'll be able to view all the easily discernable "chunks" of information in the left panel. The chunks containing these keywords were extracted directly from the links embedded in the initial Wikipedia page.
If you find a chunk of particular interest and want to read the content in its full context from its original page, click the
icon adjacent to the chunk. The target Web page will open in the right panel with the entire chunk highlighted in yellow. Voila! - you've become an "Einstein"
on the topic in just a matter of seconds, relatively speaking of course!
You may not have discovered a new theory for relativity, but you probably discovered a great website worth sharing.
Help out your classmates by emailing them a "chunk"
explaining what you found and where they can go to gather more details
