VideoNot.es has got to be one of the most widely applicable tools in educational technology I've seen in a very long time. The video revolution has transformed the amount of online video used in instruction and this tool is a fine way to improve how students are using video to support their learning. It enables a user to create time-stamped notes along side a video while the video is playing on screen. The notes are archived in one's Google Drive (and can be shared like any other Drive file). Students may return to the notes, click on any time stamped line to interact with the notes and replay any segment of the video to re-learn or clarify the content.

VideoNotes is a free web tool that allows students to take notes on a video they are watching. The notes are synchronized with the video being watched. The good thing about VideoNotes is that it is integrated into Google Drive which means that students will be able to save their notes directly to their Drive account and access, edit, and work on them anytime they want. All the notes are time-stamped.
