Thing 16: Student 2.0 Tools

I can see where teachers would really appreciate the Assignment Calculator and the Research Project Calculator. Students would have a little incentive as they enter the dates and see how the calculator gives them a timeline for completing each step. It also helps students visualize the process and all that is involved, especially for students who tend to procrastinate. These tools would be worth sharing with teachers and students. I looked over the Teacher's Guide and would find that some of the tip sheets might be worth having available for students doing research at the public library, such as the one on Improving your Google Search , Evaluating Web Sites, and Copyright and Fair Use. I'm not sure that I would use this for a personal project.
