Citing Internet Sources
The site that I chose to have high
school students to visit in order to learn how to properly site internet
sources is: http://www.apastyle.org/elecsource.html. There are many reasons I chose this
site. First, I decided on an APA site
because that is the style that is most often asked for in college, at least in
my experience. Since these are high
school students, it is my job to get them ready for college, and since they
will be doing a lot of research, it would be very beneficial to know the proper
APA style of citing. Another reason I
chose this cite is for the fact that is easy to read and understand. Not only does it give an example of the
citations, but it bullets all of the components that must be included in case
it is unclear within the citation. This
is important, because if I find the site hard to follow or understand, how can
I expect my students to follow or understand it? Lastly, I chose this site because it included
how to cite different types of articles and non-periodicals, which is probably
what the students would use the most of in finding information for a resource
project. If they are citing other
sources, it provides links to them as well.
I found this site to be very helpful and useful, and I will look back at
it when citing sources of mine own.
I have used the
APA format to cite the following websites.
