Citing Internet Resources
Classroom Connect –

Classroom Connect would be a great reference site for students to learn the proper way for citing Internet resources and information in MLA style. I like this site because of its simplicity, layout, and examples. Unlike some of the other sites, this one is not overly complicated and seems simpler to browse, making it more inviting to children. The student can easily find and match the type of media or information they want to cite. Once the information type is found, the site shows the reader the correct structure of the format, giving the student the correct order of the required information. A clear example is also provided for each source type, giving the student another guide and comparison. While this site may not show the citation for every type of Internet resource, it makes a great beginner site for learning the general way to cite from the Internet. The citations portrayed provide all the necessary information, including author, title, and date, to validate the source. At the bottom of the webpage, the student is also supplied with links to external sites regarding Internet citation in both MLA and APA style. All the necessary information and examples needed for a student to properly cite an Internet source is provided and clearly portrayed, making Classroom Connect an excellent choice for teachers to introduce and guide their students to proper MLA citations.
