  Note Organizer
SIRS Issues Researcher


SIRS Issues Researcher's enhanced Note Organizer provides start-to-finish project help. Organizing thoughts, citing sources, and saving work are some of the many steps made simple by this interactive tool.

Researchers are engaged in 21st-century learning with a new set of graphic templates aimed at meeting the research needs of users of all abilities. Differentiated instruction comes naturally with this diverse set of templates supporting a variety of research assignments.



Do your students need to go back to their Note Organizer at a later time? No problem. Note Organizer now provides a URL which you can copy and save to access your work. Saving to MyList and emailing the Note Organizer is always an option, as well.

A simple click of the Help button brings up hints as well as a new video describing steps for successful applications of the Note Organizer. Access the Note Organizer from Educators' Resources or from the Research Tools box in every Leading Issue. (Watch a video (see 4:00+) to go in-depth.)

Spotlights & Challenge Quests
Each June, the National Safety Council sponsors National Safety Month. In 2010, safety themes include prescription drug overdose, teen driving, overexertion, using a cell phone while driving, and summer safety.

SIRS Knowledge Source helps researchers learn more about these and other safety concerns in this month's Spotlight of the Month.

Jacques Cousteau is a famous ocean explorer and scientist. His fascination with the sea began when he was a young boy.

SIRS asks: What did he invent that allowed him to explore the ocean?




Top 3 Websites  
Each month, our SIRS team scours the Internet for top-quality websites for classrooms and libraries. Dive into this month's selections: TED talks, Click! photography, Big Read.
