The Research Project Calculator is an excellent step-by-step guide for secondary students to prepare essays, slide presentations, and videos. Very similar material is found in English textbooks, but the Calculator offers lots in one place. I like the precise directions and links to more help right on the screen, as well as the set schedule and availability of email reminders. Student Resources include a rubric, glossary of terms,and more. The Teacher Resources include a variety of printable support materials to help guide students as well as to help the teacher monitor and evaluate student progress. The "No Time? Suggestions for Condensing the Process" section accommodates scheduling and individual differences.
The University of MN Assignment Calendar could be a great help to college students, particularly freshmen as they work on their first papers or other big assignments. Again, the step-by-step guidance could really boost a student's confidence as he or she progresses and succeeds. It's so easy to procrastinate. The availability of email reminders on both of these Student 2.0 Tools is just one of their many effective aspects.
With access to both of these Student 2.0 Tools, librarians may be able to help patrons who are struggling with a variety of projects, in and out of school.
