Dear Colleagues,
For years now we've been
teaching a variety of research skills to our students. We wan them to
know how to cite their sources, develop bibliographies and summarize.
These skills remain critically important. But what happens when you
need to take some notes or do some research and you have very little
time? Well, what usually happens for me is that I do a poor job of
documenting my resources and end up having to go back and do the work
all over again. Through sites like easybib and noodle tools, it is now much simpler to keep track of sites and sources while developing a robust bibliography. However, that often means having to open another tab, etc.
Now, there is a super easy and FREE way to take quick notes and note all sources. If you are familiar with Google Drive, then you know that it allows you to create and share documents, spreadsheets, presentations, forms, surveys, etc. I've created step by step instructions for how to use the 'Documents' tab to take notes.
Here is the one paragraph version of the tutorial. In Documents, you now can, with one click, note the sources of facts, images and other resources.
