INSTRUCTION:

Citing Internet Resources – It is important to be able to cite digital resources in the digital age. To a Psychology teacher using APA is the most logical choice but you cannot put MLA out of work either!

Worksheets for Instruction – Why reinvent the wheel? There are a variety of sites available to the teacher to access ready-made worksheets or worksheet wizards. Rubrics are out there for you to customize. Why spend valuable time recreating what is already out there?

Teacher Made Web sites – Teachers have found a new way to communicate with parents and students. Web sites or teacher homepages are a convenient way to support classroom instruction.
