Thing 16

Give a review of the tool you explored - what worked, what didn't work, and how might it be used in your personal or professional life.
I checked out a number of the things that are listed. Under google docs I found a checkbook register that would come in handy. I also tried
Easybib, what a great tool that is! I could use this in my personal life if I had to write a paper for example, and I could use it in my professional life by teaching kids about it. I'm not sure, but I imagine that it conforms to the format required by our school. I tried the flash cards site (Knowles) but found it was taken down. That's too bad because I could have shared that site with my own kids and with the students and teachers at school. The site did link to the another flash card tool called Study Blue. I set up an account to try it out but I'm still waiting for the email verification. (Which is unusual. These things seem to come pretty fast). I hope it is legitimate because a site like this could be quite useful. I took a quick look at rememberthemilk and google fast clip. But neither looked like it would be something I would really use, although it is helpful to know about them.

  1. Your text is black on this post as is your background, making it very difficult to read. If you go to edit the post you can change the font color. Easybib is a great tool -- You can select the bibliographic style that you wish _ APA MLA Chicago, etc. The District guide for bibliographic citation uses MLA for elementary and middle school. If you haven't seen the guide, it is organized by grade level with the expectations for grade appropriate levels of sophistication. See your building media specialist for a copy of the guide.
