Notecards


 * Using Notecards in NoodleTools**

1. In your dashboard or at the top of any page, click the Notecards button.

2. Click "New Notecard."

3. Choose a title for your notecard. This should be something specific that helps you identify the information on the cards. For example: "Theories about women in the media." Select the source you are using from the drop-down menu.

4. Leave "pile" blank for now.

5. If you are taking notes from a print source, note the page numbers you're using.

6. If you want, you may tag your notecard to group it together with other notecards, though this is totally optional (and advanced).

7. For the next instructions, **check with your teacher** to make sure you are following their guidelines for notetaking. Teachers have different expectations for how you should be taking notes. Leave anything blank for areas you are not expected to record - for example, you may not need to include a direct quote.

8. Finish your notecard. You will find yourself back in the Notecard section. Once you have created two or more notecards, you can add notecards to different "piles," which means you can categorize them into different topics.
