Noodltools is a tool for storing sources, creating notecards and outlines that include direct quotes and paraphrasing, exporting sources to Google Docs, creating works cited pages, bibliographies and more.
Rather than starting from scratch with an empty project, your class can copy a "template" project that you've supplied into their own accounts. Your template can include:
- A to-do list in advance of the project deadlines.
- Citations for key sources they will need (a "pathfinder").
- A sample annotation on one citation that illustrates what criteria to address in an annotated bibliography.
- Notecard(s) to model analysis and bullet-point notes (in "paraphrase or summary") or inquiry and reflection (in "my ideas").
- An outline to enforce a common outline structure for your entire class.
