Save Text to Google Drive

10/9/2014

Save Text to Google Drive is a handy extension that takes saving webpages to your drive a step further.  When you use this extension, you are presented with all of the text on a given webpage.  You can cut out what is unnecessary (or unwanted) and save the text of the webpage directly to a Google Doc in your drive.  It even includes the link to the site for you, so you can go back to it at a later time if you need/want to.

What a great tool for students completing web research!

Saving Webpages directly to Drive

There are many ways to save your webpages and database articles directly to Google Drive when using Chromebooks with limited storage and multiple users.  By far, the easiest one I have seen is by simply using the print function.

When you try to print from a Chromebook, if a printer is not connected, the default will be to "Save as PDF."  If a printer is connected, you can still change the printer to be "Save as PDF."

When you click "Save," you will be directed to save to either your downloads or to Drive.  If you select Drive, it will allow you to choose the folder where you would like to save your Document.



















Here are some other ways to save to your Drive!

TechSmith Snagit

TechSmith Snagit allows you to take a screenshot that will automatically save to your Google Drive.  Some of the wonderful features of Snagit are that you can select the area of the screen to save, name the screenshot, and you can markup your screenshot with arrows, rectangles, circles, or text before you save it.

When you download the TechSmith Snagit App, it will create a TechSmith folder in your Drive where any screenshots you make using Snagit will automatically be saved.  Also download the extension, as it works with the app to allow you to quickly select the area of the screen to save and will open the app for you to edit the screenshot (or not).

Because I have seen so many students have trouble with saving things to their Drives on the Chromebooks, this is a nice and easy option for them!

To get the app and the extension, go to the Google Chrome Store: TechSmith Snagit
