Am starting a new research project today that I have never tried with students. Although I am only working with 3 of my 5 sections on this project, I am still curious about how well the students will do. Today, I am introducing a note taking strategy, reading short excerpt from a similar assignment, and reviewing the project guidelines.
We head to the library armed with note taking skills and the laptop cart tomorrow....I have added a link of the sharetabs that I created for students to access the information easier. I am hoping that this streamlines their research and avoids the mindless google searches that some students end up getting mesmerized with during laptop and library computer use. I also plan to encourage the students to use at least one book, but it is a hard sell when they see some of these websites as a "mecca" of information while the books are often dated.

Hope all goes well for you and the students today.
