Reflections on Meeting This Standard: This was probably one of the areas that I was the least knowledgable about at the beginning of this course. I knew that students needed to reference their work, but I followed the procedure to document printed materials. I was satisfied if the students listed the website they found the material. As I am becoming more comfortable with using technology in my classroom to locate information, I will continue to stress the proper way to reference material. Goals For the Future: I plan to provide more opportunities for my students to conduct research on the computer. In order to do this effectively, the students must also be taught the procedure for evaluating websites and for documenting the resources they find. If this is taught from day ONE of the school year, my students will be comfortable with the research demands of future classes at SMAMS.
