Digital Citizenship Resources
The Niskayuna School District Librarians have created an online repository of Digital Citizenship resources for parents, staff and students. Our goal is to help our community make informed choices about using information and communicating in the digital world.
How to spot fake news
Student Email: what does this mean for you?
- improved communication between teachers and students, and between groups of students working collaboratively
- students can utilize technology that requires an email to sign up
- students will develop an academic identity online, which prepares them to do the same in college and the workplace.
- students will further develop their understanding of the difference between social media interaction and other types of online interaction.
Student Research: Using Noodle Tools and Easy Bib for Works Cited pages
Which service is better, Noodle Tools or Easy Bib?
- Both services will create accurate citations in MLA or APA format.
- Gale databases allow you to export directly to Noodle Tools and Easy Bib.
- Both services allow students to create properly formatted Annotated Bibliographies.
- Noodle tools has a copy/paste feature, which is great for resources that create citations, such as Ebsco databases, Wikipedia, Britannica and World Book.
- Noodle tools offers additional research services, such as digital note cards, collaboration and sharing, and the creation of outlines based on note cards.
- Easy Bib works well for websites, allowing users to copy/paste the URL and Easy Bib will create the citation.
