[ISLMA-Share] NoodleTools HS

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Pros: Reasonable cost. Very nice new interface. New this fall -- the
ability for your school/district to sync with a GAFE account for
login/password (we're doing that in the spring). Easy for students to
export citations to different formats. Easy sharing of projects with a
teacher. For teachers, easy to see the work different students have
contributed to group projects. Projects can be saved year to year for
students who are creating college portfolios. Has To-Do lists. Has Outline
creator. Has Notecard creator. Does everything we used to do on paper &
with note cards, except it's digital. Students can access it from anywhere
there's Internet access.

Cons: other than the Internet going out, I can't think of any off hand. The
Internet will always be an issue. What do your teachers do now when the
Internet goes out and their students need to do online research or type
papers?

At our school, it is not mandatory for teachers to use NoodleTools, but
those who do like it and many students will use it on their own to keep
themselves organized. Not everyone uses all the features though, which are
very helpful. One of our administrators wrote his doctoral thesis using
NoodleTools and Google Drive and said it was a very positive experience.
I've used it for graduate classwork as well.
