]]> Comment on New Mission – No More Paper by Sandra http://stjlabs.com/2012/01/25/new-mission-no-more-paper/comment-page-1/#comment-49 Sandra Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:20:46 +0000 http://stjlabs.com/?p=834#comment-49 It would be more prepwork up front if they got ALL their information from google docs. But I still hand out hard copies of my curriculum - I just insist they turn it in electronically. With the next project I have been trying to put the documents up and make them responsible for getting them themselves. We'll see how that goes. It is much less work on the grading end - and the students LOVE the paperless route. I think because they are much more comfortable in a digital world than I am - so I am finally meeting them in their world = instead of pulling them into mine (if that makes sense.)

Also, are you finding it more prep work upfront, but less work on the grading end? Overall, how do you find the students responding to the paperless route?

]]> Comment on Zotero by Linda http://stjlabs.com/2011/10/10/zotero/comment-page-1/#comment-42 Linda Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:42:19 +0000 http://stjlabs.com/?p=508#comment-42 I really love Zotero. It is so much better than Noodletools in so many ways. If you use Zotero you should also download the (also Open Acess) Word plug-in for Zotero available on Zotero.org. You can type your paper in Word, easily add citations from your Zotero notes as you go (so someone can really THINK about what they are writing instead of focsung on the mechanics of citing sources) and, voila, at the end, the list of sources is created, alphabetized and finished with no further steps.
