Thing 16

This looks fabulous, darling!

I have emailed these links to our teachers more than once, but I haven't checked back to see if they are using it or having students use it.

I am shared with three libraries and don't find as much time as I would like to share these resources and research techniques as I would like. I think that for many students there is almost too much information offered here. They want to quick get the assignment done. However, there are those perfectionists out there who would eat this up. It also provides resources and opportunities for teaching not just content, but about the research process. I also appreciated the links to the center for writing and those resources. I think that if projects were assigned with the calculators as an integral part of the assignment, students would return to the calculators for other assignments on their own. I would start with the 5 step calculator, just to keep it simple at first.

I need to remember to come back to this.

Like I said fabulous!
