CITING INTERNET SOURCES
Elective #3
As a teacher of high school
students, I assigned them a research project.
The class is a Psychology class and will be researching different
theorists covered throughout the course.
I have reviewed the necessary links and have found all to be
informative. Because the class is Psychology
it seems fitting to use the APA (American Psychological Association) style of
citing resources. The resources provided
by the APA’s website provided good information.
The site gives the students a template and an example citation. I would direct my students to the APA
website. To provide another option for my students I liked the link to the Skillman
& Kirby Libraries of Lafayette College of Easton, PA. The reason for selecting this site is because
it provides details for three styles of citing resources (APA, MLA, and
Chicago). This site also provides
templates and example citations for the students to follow. It gives students the opportunity to compare
all three styles and a future reference for their other Social Studies
classes.
This
is where a dilemma occurs; as a Social Studies teacher who teaches classes
other then Psychology, I need to find a consistent way of citing sources. As an undergraduate history student, a history
professor had the class use
