Students may have learned to read on tablets, but it doesn't mean they know how to effectively use them. I have had seniors who don't know how to use a glossary. I have students who don't know how to research beyond Wikipedia or Google. These are students heading into college lacking the skills their older siblings had seven years ago. As a result we have kids who are capable of work, but who have been denied the opportunity to do the heavy lifting that creates intellectual muscle. It's time to stop coddling kids in high school and college. It is time to let them experience failure so that they can appreciate success.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-8187214487787944512017-07-28T10:31:50.607-07:002017-07-28T10:31:50.607-07:00I'd like to read the whole thing, but it's...I'd like to read the whole thing, but it's limited in accessibility (i.e. I am not a member of any institution that has paid to access that journal.)<br />Regarding EasyBib -- it has an automatic "cite the website-- enter URL here" function that MSWord doesn't have, and MSWord's Reference function requires a few more active brain cells.

I guess easybib is for people who use a word processor besides Word.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-86927206615990354742017-07-27T10:16:30.611-07:002017-07-27T10:16:30.611-07:00I have my students do bibliographies through a web...I have my students do bibliographies through a website called easybib.com or use their app.<br />I even say to the kids, "I will give you a zero on this assignment if you don't have a correctly done bibliography."<br />I show them how to use the website once in front of the entire class using LCD projector.<br />I have kids still coming and asking how to use the website even though the directions are clearly laid out on their site.<br />"I have a book and it is not coming up?" <br />"Did you click on book?"<br />"Oooooohhhhh" *feels stupid now*Davidnoreply@blogger.com
