Projects page screen in NoodleTools This takes us to the “My Projects” page in
NoodleTools. This is where your students will
create the projects for their units or assessments
that store all their research. You know you are on
the “My Projects” page because the “My Projects”
tab is highlighted in blue. Your projects page might
be empty, unlike mine. That is okay. Since you are a
teacher, you should see another tab next to “My
Projects” named “Inboxes.” The students do not
have this tab; only teachers have it. Go ahead and
click on that tab.

Inboxes page This is where you will create your project inbox for
a class. A project inbox is your own folder, where
all your student’s projects for that class are stored.
When a student creates a project, it can be shared
with you as the teacher. Once it is shared, it will
show up in the project inbox you created. This
page shows all the project inboxes you have
created. You may not have any now, but we will
make one right now. In the upper left-hand corner,
click on the green “+New project inbox” button.

New inbox dialog box screen The dialog box will come up. Type in the inbox
name. For this class, you will name your inbox
“Your Name-Training.” So my project inbox will be

as additional recipients. They will also be able to
access this project inbox and all the student
projects shared with it. People you might consider
adding are a co-teacher, a librarian, or learning
assistant. You can add as many people as you want.
But make sure they have created their
NoodleTools account first. You cannot add
someone unless they have an account. You will

Inboxes page Your project inbox will show up here on your
Inboxes page. You will be able to see how many
projects are within your inbox. You will not have
any in this inbox yet. You can also see the other
people you have shared this inbox with under
“Recipients.” The blue Options button on the right
allows you to edit, delete or archive inboxes.
Editing can allow you to delete or add more
recipients to an inbox. Archive will archive the
inbox, so it is not visible or usable anymore, but it
is not really gone like it would be if you deleted it.
This is useful after a unit or course has ended or
the end of the school year. So that’s all for this
video. I hope you have created your inbox and
understand how it can be set up for students. Until
next time.
