Motivate and Engage by Teaching Citing Sources

21st century learners are motivated by exposing their academic skills. They use digital tools to organize knowledge and present results of their research in a scholarly way. They are motivated by showing their erudition and take pride when the list of cited sources comprises books and articles published by leading academic institutions.

This week, 10th Grade students learn how to find peer reviewed scholarly articles in databases and Google Scholar, how to make note cards and cite materials in NoodleTools.
They realize that searching the "Hidden" Internet saves time and efforts and provides them with copyrighted information published by academic journals. NoodleTools allows them to quickly link note cards to the sources and keep Bibliography in order. It's such a boon!
