Sometimes when I am searching the Internet I become overwhelmed with the necessary task of keeping track of the vast amount of useful information that I find.  Losing my path in a search for previously found information can be quite frustrating not to mention the time wasted backtracking and searching through pieces of paper or word documents for my notes and web addresses.  At last I have discovered a neat new tool to help organize my search results and at the same time add my own personal notes AND not even have to close my browser window.

This tool is the Google Notebook.

You can:

• Clip useful information- Quickly add clippings of web content (images, text and links) straight to your notebook by highlighting the content you want and clicking the “Clip” button in the mini Google Notebook.
• Organize your notes – Keep all your notes organized by creating multiple notebooks for different subjects or by dividing a single notebook into several sections.  You can also easily rearrange your notes by dragging-and-dropping them from one section or notebook to another.
• Get access from anywhere- You can access your Google Notebooks from any computer by using your Google Accounts login.
• Publish your notebook – You can invite friends or classmates to collaborate on a notebook with you,  giving them full access to edit that notebook and add their own notes.  This would be a great way for students to collaborate on a group project.
