Google Search 

Remember to use Google Scholar or control your results by typing your search terms and then adding - site:.edu or site:.gov

Evaluate each site to determine its credibility.  This document can help.

Google Tools:  

Cite your articles, by adding in-text citations and a Works Cited.  

These are the steps in the process.

• Within your KWL, use Google Tools>Citations to add your source. Go to “Add Citation Source” and choose website, book, or miscellaneous for a database.  For website, copy and paste the URL in the space. For a book, scan the ISBN in the space.  For a database, enter the information manually, or you can search for your article online to locate a URL to enter into the citation.  This has worked for some students.

• Now that you’ve entered your source, place your cursor in the places where you need an in-text citation. Then, hover over the source and tap on “Cite” to put your in-text citation in the document.  Use in-text citations after information that has come from the source. (You can do this before you put the information into your slide.)

• Finally, in Google Tools>Citations, insert your works cited at the end of your document; a works cited page is ALWAYS a full page at the end of your document/presentation.  You can then copy and paste this into your slideshow.
