For this project, you are going to create a Padlet to demonstrate your learning. Mrs. Fitzgerald shared the directions for creating a Padlet.
Remember to open a new Noodle Tools project to keep all of your sources organized. Log in using Office 365.
If you are using databases, you can export the citations right to NoodleTools.
You can manually enter information about the websites you visit by clicking the green New Source button on the top right of the page after you make a new project. Enter the correct information in each spot to generate an accurate citation.
You will be able to export your references page after you finish collecting all of your information.
After considering what topic you want to research, you should start by looking for information in the following databases.
You need to consider what topic you want to research related to the novel you read.
Consider what search terms you will need to use.
Use this database if you are looking for historical information.
Use this database if you are looking for information about current topics.
Use this database if you are looking for information about current topics.
Use this database if you are looking for information about current topics.
Use this database if you are looking for more science/health related information.
Google Search Terms
Once you exhaust the databases, you can use Google to find more information.
Carefully consider your search terms. Use similar terms to what you found through the databases.
Google Search Tips
An initial Google Search often leads you to a Wikipedia page. It is okay to start with Wikipedia to get ideas of other search terms you might use, like important people or specific topics. You can also use it to get ideas of what references you might want to check out.
It is NOT okay to end with Wikipedia as the information you use in your project.
Credibility of Websites
Remember to check the About Us section of any website that is not government related (.gov) or managed by an educational institution (.edu).
If there is no About Us, you should look for any information you can find about the credibility of the person or group who created the website. You want to be sure you are not using information from Mr. K's kindergarten class website.
Citing Google Images
You also need to cite the images you use in your project. You can use NoodleTools to do this by selecting Website then Photo or Image.
You need to visit the website where the image is actually located. You cannot just copy from Google Images.
At the original website, you should be able to find the information you need for the citation: photographer (artist), website, URL, date accessed.
Citing Images on Websites
You can also use images on websites that you find information on. You need the same information: photographer, dates, website name, URL, date accessed.
