This week the 7th grade Language Arts classes continued their research for their career project. Students were taking notes from books, reference materials, online databases and web sites. This year the teachers had the students entering their bibliography information into NoodleBib (an free online bibliography maker) as they went along so some students were ready to print their bibliographies today. NoodleBib is a junior version of the NoodleTools program used at Downers Grove South High School and is basically a fill-in-the-blank setup where students enter the bibliographical information with correct spelling and capitalization and the computer generates each citation with the correct punctuation and in alphabetical order. Next week there are a number of different classes using the IMC computers -- 7th grade math, health, music, 8th grade language arts, and 7th grade language arts returning to type their speech outlines. Also the laptop computers are signed out for the entire week.
