Noodle Tools: For Better Writers
Consider using Noodle Tools with your classes. In addition to being a citation manager, Noodle Tools also has a note card component, which students can use to organize their writing. Why use this? Because on one note card the student puts the direct quote. On the same page, the next note card is used to paraphrase that same information.
Because students are very familiar with copying and pasting, note cards on Noodle Tools helps them through the process of ingesting the information instead of just pasting someone else's thoughts.

Noodle Tools is best used with students on smaller assignments at this level but can be used for larger projects as well. All Cardinal Heights students have used this program before, so embrace it--they can help you through it!
Contact Steph to schedule a department workshop and learn how to integrate this wonderful tool in your classroom.
