I played around with the site ThinkTank. I think this will work well with my students. It walks you step by step through the process of narrowing a research topic. After you find a topic, it helps you with subtopics. Students have a very hard time deciding on topics. This site helps you define what you are searching for with great leading questions.
The site NoteStar will also be very helpful with research projects. It looks like a great site to help me manage my students projects. It will let me send messages to the students about their projects. It will help check authenticity- that's a big issue. It will also be good for a cooperative learning project. It lets me assign different aspects of the project to different students. It will help me track progress of all the group members.

Many of the resources and suggested activities in the book seemed geared toward language arts. You mentioned two excellent resources for research and writing.
