Export Highlights to Google Docs

What this feature does:

Export Highlights to Google Docs takes the annotations a student made across a webpage and the words they looked up in the Dictionary, and builds them into a new Google Doc. The Doc is created and populated for them, laid out and including word illustrations where they exist.

It works with the full range of annotation colors, so a student who has been marking up a page by reading strategy gets that structure carried into the Doc.

Why it matters:

Turns marking up a page into a set of notes a student actually keeps, rather than color that disappears when they close the tab
Removes the copying-out step, which is exactly where students with writing difficulties lose the work they have already done
Notes land in Google Docs, where the rest of a student's work already lives
Word illustrations carry across, so the vocabulary stays multimodal in the notes

MTSS:

Tier 1: A note-taking route for the whole class
Tier 2/3: Students who cannot transcribe at speed still finish with a full set of notes

UDL Principles:

Multiple means of action and expression: research captured without handwriting it out again
Multiple means of representation: notes keep their images and colors

Try it yourself

Open the Mote Chrome Extension on any webpage and go to Reading Mode.
Choose My Annotations and mark up the page with the different colors.
Look up any unfamiliar words with the Dictionary; those come across too.
Click to export your highlights to Google Docs. You may need to click refresh first.
Wait a few seconds for the new Doc to populate.
