Hi everyone,
Thanks for attending our session. Just a quick update. At the end of our second session Karen Huddle from Avon High School was kinda enough to share that Noodle Tools are free to our schools through LEECA. See her message below for instructions on how to access this great service.
Hi Paul,
To access NoodleTools if your school district is part of the LEECA consortium go to the the LEECA homepage http://www.leeca.org ; then select Student Links E-Resources for Students; Reference & Encyclopedias; under the LEECA Resources column-select NoodleTools. Teachers and students can create their own accounts. If using a school computer, a username & password is not needed. Home use will require username & password which can be obtained from the school library media staff. Thanks for the great workshop today! Let me know if you have any other questions about accessing NoodleTools…as you said there are a lot of wonderful resources there!

Thanks everyone and have a nice Thanksgiving!
After the Nov. 24th session, several areas peaked my interst the most. Being able to find other powerpoint presentations and “borrow” them is a very resourceful tool that can be through File Type in Google Search. Secondly, I thought the SimplyBox was another resourceful tool. However, upon trying to use it, I found that our school blocks SimplyBox for personal pages.
I like the idea of finding a powerpoint on a particular topic through a Google advanced search rather than recreating the wheel each time. I certainly will take advantage of this resource. I will also be experimenting with Yolink to “search” my search results for relevant text which seems to me to be a fantastic time saver.
Hey Paul,
I can’t find the entry about the PLN session from last week. Am I having a brain cramp?

NoodleBib Express is probably the best tool for me to utilize. I find myself using it when I have to write papers for graduate courses. I also find myself referring my students to it for use in their papers. It is a quick and easy way to cite and print up a bibliography page. Our librarian highly recommends it.
easybib.com is good too for help citing sources, but it doesn’t help with paranthetical references like noodle will.
Noodle tools looks very intersting. I use lots of visuals with my students and after looking at some of the Biomes i am excited to see how I can use this to bring home some concepts.
I’m a member of Web 2.0 now! I wish I had more time to learn it because it looks like an interesting way to gain information. I just printed out some information about Noodle Tools to familiarize my students with it. I think the note taking part of Noodle is very interesting.
I like the paragraph art in the noodle tools to help students visualize how their paragraphs should be structured. This is espesially good for those picture thinkers. I also like being able to search for a powerpoint on a particular topic through Google advance search. I am looking forward to doing this!
At this time I tend to use Google advance search most of the time. After reading the above blogs, Noodle Tools sounds intriguing.
