Impact on the library program and students and/or teachers:
We were able to collaborate on research efforts with both teachers and students across grade levels and content areas.
Empowered teachers to provide more opportunities for students to utilize NoodleTools as a place for research and collaboration (feedback, editing, etc.)
Increased teacher use over time by promoting and "word of mouth."
Students gained experience with locating reliable sources, as well as citing sources.
Middle school students gained basic experience with using NoodleTools before going to high school.
Joanne reflects on this remote practice.
