Have a well deserved break :)

Happy summer holidays to all of my fellow teachers. We made it! I wish you a restful break, full of amazing travels and great food.


I'll start posting again in August.

Noodle tools

I was recently introduced to a versatile online tool which is supporting my Grade 8 MYP students in their research. I'm talking about Noodle Tools, an online tool created to help you plan, create and work together on projects.

As a teacher, you have inboxes for your classes:

You can easily check your students' work; what sources they gathered:

How many note cards they created:

How detailed are their note cards:

This tool makes it very easy to teach your students how to organise their research well. This is a vital skill for IB and obviously for their studies at university. Noodle Tools allows you to group your note cards, colour-code them and even assign a hashtag so you can easily filter in search for information.

One of my favourite features is the bibliography option which allows you to import all of your cited works into MS Word in seconds. Additionally, you can also set up which style you need the reference list to be (APA, MLA, etc.).

I wish you great lessons!
