• Scrible - https://www.scrible.com/

When you start your Research papers with your class, please don’t forget about Scrible.  Scrible gives students annotation, bibliography, outlining, website collection tools and  you can see all their work as they progress through their research.  I would be happy to spend the day (or period) to show your students (and you) how to use this collaborative tool.  We have received MANY positive comments back from students.
