Teach Your Students How To Cite Sources
At the high school, we use NoodleTools to cite sources, take notes, and organize our research. Students and teachers can sign up for a NoodleTools account with their Waltham Public Schools Google account. For assistance with NoodleTools, please visit the websites below or stop by the library.
