Description
Do you wish your students could remember EVERYTHING that needs to be included in a bibliography to properly cite sources? Citation and bibliography generators make this process so much easier. Easier for you to teach, and easier for your students to engage in Digital Citizenship.
Just because they are easier doesn’t mean we can toss a citation generator in front of students and expect them to know how to use them well. They take time to teach and a little practice to get the hang of.
The resources included in this activity guide students through the process of citing sources with the bibliography generator MyBib, and creating an organized bibliography that can be used in a research report or presentation.
💜 YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE HOW MUCH THIS PROCESS IS GOING TO SIMPLIFY YOUR TEACHING AROUND PLAGIARISM, CITING SOURCES, AND BIBLIOGRAPHIES.
💜 YOUR STUDENTS ARE GOING TO LOVE HOW PREPARED THEY ARE AS DIGITAL CITIZENS WHEN RESEARCHING.
