RBHS students used our library to become information producers not just information consumers or information movers.  Numerous classes were involved in producing research thesis papers and public service announcement video projects.  While much of the production is done electronically, the focus is always on the critical thinking: students reading, gathering evidence to support a position. Outlines are created and notes are taken using electronic note cards-part of the NoodleBib program.  NoodleBib electronic note cards enable students to copy quotes, paraphrase the quotes and record their own ideas.  Note cards are tagged and can be put into piles and sorted electronically.  Students record their source s in the same program and tie the source to the note card to keep attribution correct.  Students can then drop their note cards into their outline prior to writing their first draft.  To extend their research beyond the thesis paper, Mr.Trecker had his students produce storyboards and shoot PSA videos.  Videos were edited on our iMac computers and finished products were uploaded to Youtube and shared in the reference room.
