PLANNING
If you want to assist your students with planning their research (or any) project, have them use the Research Project Calculator.
ORGANIZATION
If you would like to have your students organize their thoughts and ideas, have them try MindMeister. This tool is available within Google Apps. See me for details.
CREDIBLE WEBSITES
The CRAAP Test is an easy yet effective method for determining the credibility of websites for both personal and school use. The accompanying video, while a bit corny - they are my people (librarians), gives a quick explanation of why and how to use this test. The acronym is memorable too!
TAKING NOTES
Evernote lets you take notes AND retrieve them anywhere you have Internet access. So it's a great tool for everyone. I use Evernote when I'm attending conferences. You can include links, photos, videos, tags, etc. Evernote has collaborative features too that allow you to share information and more.

PLAGIARISM AND CITING SOURCES
The tutorial/quiz on plagiarism and citing sources teaches students about plagiarism and how to avoid it.
The resource list included on the media center Research page is not exhaustive. So please let me know if there are other items you would suggest adding.
