"NoodleTools has created easy to use modules for the classroom and home.
Use a Show Me© module to enhance your teaching and guide students in information evaluation. What constitutes credible information? How does source type contribute to relevance, authority and point-of-view? How do I evaluate and cite born-digital images and online sources? All modules incorporate common core concepts."

Noodle Tools has a great feature that allows students to learn more about information literacy. They have split this into three sections (quoted from the site):
* Starter - Introduce younger researchers to topics of authorship, source type, and the importance of critical thinking and original work. (Geared to elementary and middle school.)
* Junior - Build information literacy skills in the developing scholar with added support for a variety of source types and digital literacy skills. (Geared to middle-high school.)
* Advanced - Promote research independence through advanced information-evaluation support that covers a broad range of source types. (Geared to high school and college.)
Below are the questions asked in the Junior Tool when students look at a webpage. Each page has one of the questions below with additional questions that explore the concept and images of one or more Web pages for students to reference as they consider the questions.
* What is a Web page?
* What is a Website?
* What is the difference between a Web Project and a Web site?
* How do I evaluate the author?
* How do I evaluate the publisher?
* Is recent information important to my topic?
* How do I fact-check the information?
* How do I evaluate the credibility of the author's arguement?
* How do I cite a Web page?
* Which URL should I use?
Debbie Abilock's work is always thorough! Love it!
Absolute must resource if you think teaching our students about academic integrity is important - espcially in the wake of the tsunami of information that we are experiencing! Thanks again Joy Rosario.
