silver Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 There must be plenty of computer apps/software/website apps that will help organize notes during research when writing a paper--but it seems like every curriculum I look at insists on using physical notecards and handwriting the notes. Does anyone know of a resource (curriculum, book, or even just a webpage) that will give students help for a digital alternative to notecards? Something better than just dumping it all in one big word document? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 OneNote is a possibility.

wendyroo Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I've actually had a really hard time finding what you are describing. I want a program or app that is pretty much a digital manifestation of physical note cards that can be dragged around. Preferably with ways to tag them with sources and/or color code them. If anyone knows of anything like that I would be very interested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alte Veste Academy Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I used to have a mind mapping program that did this. It was one frequently recommended by OhElizabeth. Most mind mapping software would probably work. Mine turned the mind map into an outline with one click, and vice versa. Watch the video here to see what I mean. Don’t know how much this one is though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only starting to figure out what software might be best for this, but I came across this one that might meet your needs:https://www.noodletools.com/overview/notes/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest using Obsidian, as it's free an has a very active community of users and add-on developers. There are more resources on using a Zettelkasten system in Obsidian than you can shake a stick at. Another tool is Logseq, which integrates spaced repetition using an algorithm that's better than Anki's.

amiesmom Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 We have used Noodle Tools for research reports. It does have a digital notecard feature that I like. My DD finds it helpful for creating a good annotated bibliography. We pay $15 for a one-year license. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
