Yesterday I started to re-examine our teaching of note taking in middle and high school. I looked at the tool on Noodletools and then later I worked on developing a template on Google Docs. I copied some of the aspects of the Noodletools note cards and so here is an example below. It seems to me that you would be able to use Google Docs for note taking but I don't see the advantage over Noodletools. With Noodletools, students are able to link their notes to the source. They are also able to create an outline of their essay (or project) using the notecards.
What would be the advantage of using google docs? Students seem predisposed to use Google docs and so if we gave them a template with the necessary elements for assisting in their note taking, they might be more likely to use it than Noodletools.
I'm struggling to find another reason why google docs might work better!
Can anyone offer other suggestions?
Title of Note: Arsenic

Direct Quote from Internet:
Exposure to arsenic in drinking water represents a significant health problem for people around the world. In 1997, the World Health Organization recommended that arsenic in drinking water be recognized as a major public health issue that should be addressed on an emergency basis. For humans, exposure to arsenic has been linked to increased risk of lung disease, heart disease, diabetes, cancer and reproductive disorders. However, most studies linking arsenic with human disease have involved people exposed to very high levels - in the workplace, for example, or in parts of Taiwan, Pakistan and other areas of the world where levels of arsenic in drinking water are unusually elevated. In Bangladesh and India, an estimated 200 million people have been exposed to well water tainted by arsenic from natural sources deep within the ground.
