NoteStar-

"Using the NoteStar NoteCards tool, students can take notes from online sources as they browse the Internet. Source information (i.e. title, url, etc.) is automatically captured in order to assist in work citation. Once their notes are gathered, students may then organize their notes to suit their project's goals.

NoteStar benefits teachers as well. Once a teacher has assigned a NoteStar project to their students, they may return to monitor their student's progress at any time. Based on a student or group's progress, the teacher may provide feedback."

RubiStar

Customize a rubric for many different activities, then print it out for your students.

TrackStar

"TrackStar helps instructors organize and annotate Web sites (URLs) for use in lessons. The resource list remains visible allowing the user to easily stay on track."

You can also search other teacher's tracks to find resources for your class. Other tracks can be modified so you do not have to start from scratch.
