One of Google’s lesser known tools, I have found Google Notebook to be very helpful to me in school.  It installs as an extension on Firefox for Windows, Mac, and Linux.  Additionally, it is available as a plugin for Internet Explorer 6.  Unofortunately, there is no support for Internet Explorer 7, Safari, or other browsers.  The point of Google Notebook is that you can save websites, or highlight selections of text, or select an image to save to a central Google server.  There you can organize your web clipping into notebooks, append notes onto those clips, or write notes down on the whole notebook in general.  Because all this information is stored online, I can access this data from any computer with an internet connection.  Google Notebook has proven to be an invaluable tool for researching school papers and writing articles for this website.  Students would do themselves a favor by trying out Google Notebook this school year.
