Introducing NoodleTools

Post date: Feb 05, 2018 5:10:24 PM

We are excited to announce the district's NEW subscription to the NoodleTools research platform for citations, note-taking, and outlining. A what tool? No, no, NoodleTools!

You may be aware that the school version of EasyBib is being DISCONTINUED by its publisher this spring and critical functions like note-taking have already been retired, although the limited free version and paid individual subscriptions will continue. You may have also noticed that the advertising on EasyBib has increased dramatically in the past year and be looking for a less distracting interface. We've got you covered!

NoodleTools is a research platform that fully supports multiple citation styles, note-taking, and outlining. It is integrated with Google Docs and allows users to collaborate and share their work with teachers (and librarians, wink, wink!) for feedback.

There are three ways to get started with NoodleTools:

From Drive, click the G Suite NoodleTools button (click the Google "waffle" menu at the top right of any Google apps screen, then click "More")

Go to NoodleTools.com and enter your Spyponders username under "Access via G Suite"

Use our direct link for students: https://my.noodletools.com/logon/signin?domain=spyponders.com

The first time you enter you will need to create a new account and select your school and year of graduation. If you need help logging on please see me or check out this short tutorial.

We will be rolling out more training in the coming weeks but if you are ready to get cracking, please check out these online tutorials, archived webinars, or reach out to me.
