**Big6 Resources**  Sometimes, one of the hardest parts of a research paper is helping your student find a topic, narrow it down and find appropriate resources. [|**NoodleQuest**] from NoodleTools was designed to help. You answer a set of check-the-box questions, then NoodleQuest uses your answers to recommend the best websites to find the type of information you need. For instance, you may need historical primary sources that include biographical information, speeches, images and statistical data. You let NoodleQuest know how experienced the student is at using the Internet. Then it returns a list of possible sources to help the student research the topic (or even find a topic). Love it!
