Video Notes a Must Have Google App for the Classroom

Videonot.es is a new versatile Google Drive app that allows you to watch videos and take notes at the same time. It looks like a great way to get student’s thoughts or questions on a video. The notes you take are synced to your Google Drive. In addition, when you go back to your notes, you simply click on a part of your notes and it will take you back to the relevant place in the video. Currently, Videonot.es supports Youtube, Khan Academy, Vimeo, Udasity, EdX, and Coursera videos.

VideoNot.es does appear to be pretty user friendly. After linking VideoNote.es to Google Drive, students can copy and paste a video link into the box on the left side of their screen and click load. Once the video loads, students watch the video on the left side of the screen and take notes on the right side. Since all files sync with Google Drive, students can easily go back and access their notes at a later time. Google Drive also allows students to efficiently share notes with you or other students.
