Erin's+review+of+Notefish

Wednesday, July 15th, I attended the cool tools presentation on Notefish ([|notefish.com)] facilitated by Dr. Julie Coiro and Dr. Jill Castek. Notefish is an online note-taking method for capturing materials (images or text) found on the World Wide Web and copying them into Notefish. Then the researcher can open Notefish and organize his/her research and write his/her own captions/notes about the research. It is also possible to add tags to the captured materials so it can be easily sorted or even color coded. Notefish works primarily with Mozella Foxfire and not Internet Explorer because the coding is not current. There is a way to share your Notefish page of research with others for collaboration.

As a new doctoral student, who is going to be doing research using the World Wide Web, I am amazed by Notefish, and how it is going to transform how I record and organize my research. I will not need the endless note cards that I had once used for organizing research for writing papers. I can now take notes, copy sources, date when the source was found, add my own thoughts, and organize the information using Notefish. Anyone at any age level can use Notefish for organizing their online research. I will use Notefish when teaching my online class in my lesson about researching and evaluating source materials.
