Next step - "grabbing" text with transparency layer

Now that you have mastered "grabbing" text and putting it into notebook, work on the next step using transparency layer. Open the PDF, word document, web site or other item where you want to be able to "grab" text. Open a notebook file. Click on the transparency icon in notebook which makes notebook software transparent so your document/site can be seen. You can grab text and it will automatically be in notebook. If you desire, you can create a transparent box or oval that says "main idea" or whatever concept you are looking for so students can click and drag the text into that area. When you take the transparent layer off, the text you grabbed will be in the working area along with the transparent shape that you created.
