Re: [LM_NET] HIT: Notecards for research papers--FUNNY

[Joyce Valenza <joycevalenza@GMAIL.COM>]

We also use the Notecards in NoodleTools
http://www.noodletools.com/tour/notecards.php and some of our teachers
use Google Notebook for for their notecards as a gadget on their
igoogle pages.  http://www.google.com/notebook

The kids absolutely prefer these to the cards.
