Noodle Tools, Slidshare and Inspiration

I've heard of Noodle Tools, but never seen it in action. Many of the local community colleges have it, too. So students who have used it in college would be a step ahead. I really like the idea of being able to use the notecard and outline functions, in addition to just keeping track of and citing your sources. The only problem that I wrestle with is what about students who do not have internet access or computers at home?

I've also seen Slideshare used professionally, but I had never thought of using it as a school library media specialist's tool. I have a feeling that there are many tools and programs out there that I would have this reaction to. This would be a great tool to use for an "alternate" assignment or in UDL.

Lastly, one of my college acquaintances uses Kidspiration in her first grade class. I thought it and Inspiration were really interesting programs. In addition to concept mapping, I would also use the software to come up with keywords and concepts for searches.
