    Citation Website

    Great site for FREE citation. I have used it for years - the students can create accounts and keep track of resources and create a Works Cited page at end.

    Another way to collect internet resources, with information about proper citation style

    One of my colleagues at BFS showed me this site, another way of organizing web resources. I like the function that helps kids cite resources correctly!

    Hey Rachel, how do you feel Zotero compares to Noodle Tools? I'd be interested to hear your opinion. Also, I recently discovered another tool in this category (http://www.wizfolio.com/) which looks interesting, but I haven't had a chance to explore it yet.

Organic Foods Are They Safer? - 0 views

    Clearly compares the benefits of organic grown foods and the conventionally grown foods. Short and easy to read for kids.

    I like how this website has kid-friendly search engines listed!!

    Hi Heather, great job finding, sharing and commenting on resources on Diigo! I would like to offer a couple of suggestions. You will notice that above that the site that you bookmarked here is www.kidinfo.com. While it's true that this is the main site where you found the article "Organic Foods Are They Safer?, by bookmarking only the front page of the site kidinfo.com instead of the specific page with the article that you want it makes it so that anybody clicking on the link above will still need to navigate the site in order to find this specific article instead of being able to click on the link and going directly to the page. Unfortunately Diigo does not provide a way to edit the address (URL) of sites you have already bookmarked, so if you wanted to make this change you would have to delete the bookmark by clicking on More and then "Delete this Item" above and after you would need to find the article again and re-save it to Diigo. A second suggestion is to add several other tags beyond the required "BGWOrganicSearch" or "BGWSearchTools". For example, the above reference article may discuss specific themes related to organic foods, for example safety or pesticides. By adding the tags "Safety" or "Pesticides" it helps to build a library of tags within Diigo that can be used to quickly differentiate articles based on sub-topics. To add additional tags to bookmarks that are already on Diigo you can click on the More above and then Edit. Again thanks for your great contributions to the course. Please let me know if you have any questions on the suggestions above.
