I completed the composite review for Cool Tools for Teachers and sent it to the author. As it turns out she is an assistant principal at a school in New Zealand. She was so thrilled (and rightly so because she got a great review --- thank you, Judy and Cris!). She wrote back almost immediately and said to post the review and asked that I send a letter to her principal....pretty exciting work we're doing, folks!<br />
Thanks!<br />

I propose a presentation every year at our Fall Connection. It takes place at the beginning of September, so I'm fresh from MERLOT and I usually call it "The Best of MERLOT." I highlight new ideas that I got at the MIC. For instance, I think it was last year that I learned about using the Flip Video camera in one of the presentations I attended. As well, I talk about ways to get involved with MERLOT by reviewing. Cathy's GRAPE camp has made that aspect of involving new people so much…

Jane What's one way you've used a MERLOT learning object in your teaching that's been successful for you?tag:voices.merlot.org,2008-07-23:2093140:Topic:4512008-07-23T22:28:33.338ZJane Moorehttp://voices.merlot.org/profile/JaneMoore
I've been using Noodle Tools for bibliographic work in my classes at both National-Louis and the University of Western Ontario. It's a free program that we reviewed in Teacher Education several years ago. It allows users to type in the information for an APA or MLA style citation and it will create a correct bibliographic entry. For only a few dollars (I can't remember if it's $8 or $12 for a year, you can upload and keep track of a whole bibliography. I include the link in all my syllabi.<br />
