Enhance YouTube with Video Notes


Video Notes will make your use of YouTube more effective as well as helping you hold students accountable for media they are supposed to watch. This tool works with Google Drive to allow you to embed a YouTube video into a document you can use to take or display notes. 

Each note that you enter is time coded to a specific point of the video you choose. At anytime, you can jump to the part of the video you are interested in!


This is not a great tool for use in class, since so many students watching separate videos would take up too much bandwidth. It is however, a great tool to add more to a video you are showing the class, or something you are sharing for homework.


Another possible use would be for students to find their own videos and add notes to them to demonstrate how the video fits a certain topic or concept.

All video/note files are saved into a special folder in your Google Drive account and can be opened and shared at any time.
