Scaffolding Methods for Research Paper Writing

http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2012/07/grading-made-easy-with-diigo-jing.html#.UVPDBdF-P0M This is a guest post from Rebecca Johnson. Both Diigo and Jing have been written about on numerous occasions here at the Free Technology for Teachers blog, but I wanted to share my experiences using both tools when grading assignments. I teach an information literacy course for the college where I work as a librarian. This course requires students to create an annotated bibliography as their final project; but there’s one issue that I continually run into time and time again - students would submit their sources throughout the quarter, but when it came time to put the bibliography together, they never could find their sources again which left them scrambling to search for additional content.
