Artifact # 2: Sample of student website citation "9(f) The teacher advocates, models, and teaches safe, legal, and ethical use of information and technology including appropriate documentation of sources and respect for others in the use of social media."
This artifact demonstrates how I had students cite and give credit to the websites they used for reserach purposes. In order to show students the importance of citing sources used for research, I asked the students how they would feel if they came up with a good idea, and after they had told me their idea, I told that same idea to other people, only I took credit for the idea. I explained that the example I gave them was similar to finding information on the internet and not showing where the information came from. In accordance with the Kaiser complex prek-12 research skills continuum, I required students to provide a URL and the date they accessed the website in a reference page at the end of their Google Slides project. This artifact shows how I have encouraged students to use online information without taking credit for other people’s ideas.
