Google Notebook

Google Notebook could be a useful homework tool. It is a web-based applet that allows you to save selections from web pages and organize them. After saving, the Notebook can be accessed from any web enabled computer. Web research performed and saved at school can be retrieved at home for further use, or vice versa.To use the applet you must sign up for a free Google account. (The account will give you access to many of Google's other tools) On a library computer, after you have a Google account, go to the Google home page (http://www.google.ca/) and log in. Then go to Notebook (www.google.com/notebook). Then open another iteration of the IE browser. You can do research on that browser and select and copy the information you want. Then use ALT-TAB to return to Notebook and paste your information.On a home computer you can download the Notebook plugin that will provide easier one-click access to the Notebook.
