Thing 21: Student 2.0 Tools

When I looked at Assignment calculator I was very impressed. When I plugged in an assignment and clicked on calculate assignment schedule I was surprised at how detailed the assignment schedule the calculator printed out. At every step there are links if anything needs further clarification and the suggestions are fantastic. For a procrastinator (like me) this will help keep you on track to succeed! I especially like the links to the following: • QuickStudy: Citing sourcesThe Elements of Style - William Strunk, Jr.RefWorks: Citing sources using an online tool. This is an excellent resource for students....if they will use it?!?

For Research Project Calculator I was not able to get a demonstration of a project .....I did not want to register with them and give out my email. I did click on the link on the right side [Glossary of Terms ] and that gave me entrance to other parts of the research project calculator: Question Gather Conclude Communicate: Essay - Electronic Slides - Video Evaluate . From these along with the glossary of terms there is some useful information but not set up as nice as Assignment Calculator.

I didn't find any use for the Teacher Guide to the Research Project Calculator for the library.

How might the RPC and the Teacher Guide help you help students plan and manage research projects? Well I would recommend students with projects check out the RPC site and the Assignment calculator site for help in tracking and planning their project/assignment.
