Personal Folders


The My Projects screen of your personal folder provides you with a unified view of all the projects that you have access to in NoodleTools. 

The first time you open your personal folder, it will be empty. A single empty table titled My Projects is displayed, along with a
large button titled Create a New Project.

To create a new project, click the Create a New Project button in your personal
folder (with My Projects selected). On the Create a New Project screen, you must provide some information before NoodleTools allows you to begin a project:


→ Step #1: Choose the source list style
Ask your teacher or instructor before choosing between MLA, APA, and
Chicago. You will be able to change the style later if you need to, but
since the data required to cite a source in one style can be different in
another style, it is always best to start with the citation style your teacher is requesting.

→ Step #2: Choose the project level
NoodleTools allows you to select between three levels: Starter, Junior
and Advanced. These are intended to roughly correlate with a student’s
grade level:
Starter: Elementary school or middle school ESL learners
Junior: Middle school or high school ESL learners
Advanced: High school, college, graduate school, and professional

→ Step #3: Provide a brief description
Enter a brief description that will help you remember the contents or
purpose of this project when you see it later among other projects in
your personal folder.

At the bottom of the page, click Create Project to begin a new project. If you change your mind, click Cancelto return to your personal folder.
