Help me find a better method for student research papers.
I’ve traditionally taught hand writing note cards in a specific form to draft their paper. What do you do????
I like typed annotated bibliographies. I know that the written cards give students something to visually manipulate while drafting (I’ve seen people place them up on the wall/bulletin board and move them around to craft their papers), but the annotated bib is something they will use again if they go to college and it’s more streamlined. If you wanted to go digital and still do notecards, a slide presentation (like Prezi, PowerPoint, Google Slides, etc.) would work. For a 5-7-page paper, I usually make my students do two annotated bibliographies with five sources each.
I do teach annotated bibliography actually!! I’ve also attempted to try to do notecards digitally, with mixed results.
Definitely looking into Noodle Tools since we are a Google school. I requested a 30 day trial and I’ve already dropped a heads up to my principal and a couple other people.
A colleague introduced me to Google Keep this fall, and it's AMAZING! It's essentially electronic note cards. I'm a firm pen and paper person for my own research and writing for grad school, but this tool is so slick it may have converted me....
