This week's theme for me had to do with helping students think critically about the internet resources available. We took a look at Noodle Tools, which serves as a great starting point for students preparing to do research using Internet Resources. Noodle Tools helps students think about purpose, and the types of media they want to access when conducting the research. I think it is a wonderful resource that would be especially valuable to students new to the research process.
We also looked at Google Alerts and discusssed how this particular tool could be used both personally and professionally. I had never used the Alerts feature before, but I can see it being a great way to improve productivity and spend less time on the search process, and more time on the analysis of the information.
