  • 1.  Online Research and Writing Platforms

    Posted 11-15-2021 10:35 AM
    Hello!  We are in the midst of redesigning the research process for our students.  We are a PK-6th grade school.  We are looking for a tool that helps to save sources, organize notes, begin writing, and more.  So far I have the most interest in Noodle Tools, Diigo, and Scrible.  Do you use any of these at your school?  Do you have something better you use for elementary aged students?

    I have used Diigo and it is a great tool for saving resources, sharing with a group, and with annotations (similar to physical notecards we used back when these tools were not available).  I use for myself as well and found it invaluable for my graduate research as well.  Scrible looks similar and also allows you to add as a Chrome Extension.

    I like Diigo, though we also have Noodletools here. I've found the Chrome Extension for Diigo a little obtrusive, but it has good flexibility as a platform for sharing and teaching.
