Text to Table Notetaking

Why not take advantage of all Google has to offer to enhance the note taking experience. There are many ways to to take advantage of Google's versatility  when it comes to note taking. First, you have to find text. NewsELA, Tween Tribune, and Britannica are a few of my favorite "go tos" for nonfiction text. Once you have found your text, copy the text (ctrl c) and paste it (ctrl v) in a Google Doc. Now the sky is the limit on annotation techniques. 

The technique I am going to focus on for this blog is putting your text in a table. You can add your text in one column and then have a space for student notes in the other. You can even add a box under each section for summaries. Check it out.
