Re: [LM_NET] Noodletools.com

Hi, Renee--I have a subscription for the full
Noodletools and love it. OK, I don't teach my 6th
graders to use it (I'm in a 6-12 library) though it's
advertised on our list of subscription databases and
some figure it out, but I do in 7th. 

I start then right with advanced MLA and they know
what the publishing information means from 6th grade.
I'm in a small school so it's pretty cheap but has
such nice options like online folder storage for
students they can retrieve it from home or other
places, an annotation option and...the feature
teachers like...the option of teachers being able to
review in progress work, making it harder to
plagiarize and easier for assessment. I also like the
built-in tutorials like which words to capitalize. 

My philosophy is that if we are going to require
students to cite information, it's our job to teach
them how and to make it as easy as possible for them. 


Best, Sara Johns
