What is NoodleTools?
NoodleTools is a platform for student research• Students get support along the entire research process
– The components stay organized, high-quality work is encouraged – They get help and personal answers at the point of need– Self-assessment and responsibility are promoted
NoodleTools is a platform for teaching• Teachers view all student work (notes, outline, bibliography, paper)
– All instructors can monitor and assess student progress – Feedback (in context or general comments) can be given at various
stages– Evidence of achievement can be collaboratively assessed

Noodlebib scaffolds thinking
• Software automates punctuation– Student dissects the source field-by-field
• Software highlights possible errors– Student make decisions about corrections
• Software displays data about sources– Student evaluates quantity, variety and
currency

A teaching tool
“NoodleTools stands out because instead of simply presenting an ambiguous form that a user may not correctly complete, it attempts to teach at almost every step. If a user chooses to cite a journal article, the software will provide a definition of a journal. This not only checks the user's choice, but reminds the user of the essence of the publication type selected…[and] continues to engage the user by asking if the journal was online or in print, from a Web site, or a database and will even coach the students on those "picky details" such as capitalization. The user not only gets an accurate citation, but has quite possibly learned something about sources and documentation.” – N. Tomaiuolo, “Citations and Aberrations.” Searcher Magazine, July/Aug. 2007
• CHOICE Magazine, June 2006 - Rating: "Highly recommended"
![Page 22: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Three-step notetaking process
1. The student captures the author’s words/images– Acts as a check on plagiarism– Links quotes and sources
• Say good-by to “I can’t remember where I got that” or “I need that quote about…”
– Uses colors and highlighting to mark up the author’s words• By interacting with notes, a student
understands the content
![Page 23: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cut-and-paste…
Author’s image
Author’s words
![Page 24: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
…and annotate the text
Red for problems
Green for statistics
Highlight main ideas
![Page 25: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Reading comprehension:analysis and synthesis
2. Next the student paraphrases the author’s words – Easy for the student (and you) to compare to the
marked-up quote– Adds tags to identify and analyze information
• Word tags enable searching and grouping by important terms, names and key ideas
• Color tags encourage student-defined sorting (e.g. red=problems, green=solutions)
• Visual icons remind the student to follow-up(e.g., “incomplete,” “important,” “need help”)*
And you can identify where they need help!
![Page 26: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Explain it to yourself**Using words that you understand
![Page 27: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
It’s easier to add tags when you know more.
![Page 28: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Add the main idea last
![Page 29: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The software prompts for original thinking
3. “My Ideas” is the student’s thinking space– Encourages analysis and reflection
• How does this fit with what you know?– Promotes questioning, reflection and “meta” thinking
• What questions do you have?• What don’t you understand?• Why is this different than my other sources?
– Supports planning• “What’s next” instead of “all done”• Develops ideas for the “to do” list
![Page 30: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What do you think?
I wonder…?
Reminder to add this to the “To do” list on the Dashboard
![Page 31: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Students use the tabletop to organize notes
Drag and sort notes
![Page 32: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Make piles
Students group ideas that belong together
![Page 33: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
By labeling notes with visual cues, students can search, reorder or revise them later
Add reminders, colors and tags
![Page 34: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Organize and outline
Students can process notes in multiple ways• Order and reorder notes into piles
– Experiment with tentative subtopics• Attach multiple tags to a notecard
– Label important details, themes, concepts• Search notes - by one tag, by combinations
– Investigate new ways to order information– Encourages flexible thinking– Return to “incompletes”
![Page 35: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Students can build an outline on-the-fly…
![Page 36: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
…or create it before taking notes
![Page 37: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
With notes and piles in an outline, a student’s work is organized for a paper (word processor, Google Docs) or project
![Page 38: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
…and work can never get lost!

…with a quick overview of student activity
![Page 43: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
NoodleBib supports teaching
The teacher can:• Monitor all research components (notes,
sources, outline, writing)• Select instructional feedback from a comment
bank, then tailor it to the student’s needs• Observe how the student applies feedback to
work, then provide further support, if needed• Respond to notes tagged “Need help”• Capture evidence to support evaluation• Collaboratively assess student work
![Page 44: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
A window on students’ thinking
• You can see if the student has:– selected quality, relevant sources – included an appropriate range of sources– identified key points in the author’s quote– grasped the author’s meaning– taken relevant notes– used your feedback to improve– exhibited flexible thinking using alternative
ways to organize information– asked thoughtful questions
![Page 45: Noodle Tools](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020716/54901da0b47959515c8b46ac/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Why NoodleBib?
NoodleBib promotes an ethical academic climate• Teach (rather than police) ethical behavior
– Safeguard against accidental plagiarism• Builds a consistent attribution process throughout the grades• Allows departments to teach the style used in their discipline• Continuous support encourages student buy-in
I have used it with 5th-8th graders and I find that students are actually willing to consult more than the minimum number of sources because they know they will have help creating the proper citations. This encourages curiosity and intellectual engagement. Our English, History and Science teachers love NoodleBib and they are using it for their own research.
