Susan Moore EDET 650 Annotated Bibliography December 2, 2013 Annotated Bibliography With such a development in technology and

societys dependence on the internet for information, the training that the education is providing students to use these resources are not up to par. While students are very tech savvy, they lack the ability to search online or look up information, whether for personal or academic purposes. Due to the fact that the internet not only provides a world of opportunity at the fingertips of its users, but the internet also provides an inexpensive, quick way of researching, as compared to using traditional print resources. Upon teaching these skills to todays students, it is important to teach them Internet safety, as well as tricks of the trade. With the countless pieces of information that is available, students must be taught how to narrow down their search, and cite their sources appropriately. Universal Design for Learning has been recommended as a way to teach students how to be so successful with online resources, as well as the use of students prior knowledge with the internet. The following research articles offer helpful information that will be used to create engaging online research tutorials in order to teach students how to use keyword searches, identify valid websites, decipher between relevant and irrelevant information, and to cite online sources.

Retrieved from http://search.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.usca.edu:2048/login.aspx?direct=true&db= aph&AN=19291960&site=ehost-live This research article seems to support my internship topic completely! The title itself displays that the content is in regards to online research. The article explores the fact that nurses (along with people in other professions), have begun to take advantage of the multiple uses the internet has to offer. The author of this article reviews these uses and targets the current trend of webbased research. Supporting my desire to teach students how to utilize the Internet for research purposes, the author found that some advantages to researching online include the fact that it is less expensive, takes less time, and has more to offer than other traditional methods of researching such as printed text. Due to these facts, I desire to help my students not only know how to research online, but also to realize the advantages that the Internet brings. This article was scholarly and includes in-depth research on the subject as well as terms and their definitions to help readers comprehend the information.

It was rather interesting to read that college students, even in a learning environment, use the Internet more for entertainment and social purposes than obtaining information. While this is interesting, it is not surprising due to the fact that many students (of all ages) simply do not know how to research effectively. This organized article includes all of the steps of the research process, and includes a variety of resources to support the research conducted and the results found. This article supports my internship and creating

tutorials because the goal is to teach my fourth graders how to research effectively so that they develop this as a life skill.

This journal article reflected on a study conducted in the digitalizing country of Turkey of the current internet use and abuse of the largest demographic of internet users: adolescents ages 16-24. The study demonstrated that three quarters of those sampled admitted to using the Internet a few times per week or more. With such a large percentage of use, it is interesting that the dominant purpose for Internet uses were in the order of communication, information, entertainment, and business. With information taking up nearly a third of all Internet use, it is clear that users (and young users at that) need to know how to research this information, thus supporting my goals in the internship. This article was written in scholarly fashion, and includes a thorough introduction that explains the background of Internet use and its importance. Howard, R., & Davies, L. J. (2009).

Retrieved from http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=36666628 This article focused on the increase in plagiarism that accompanies the increase of Internet research. The author discusses that teachers should educate students of the skills and strategies that goes along with writing from sources, instead of banning the internet as a source entirely (as some teachers are doing). The article appears in a very popular fashion, but is indeed a scholarly article that is supported with numerous references. This supports my internship plan to create a tutorial teaching students how to create a bibliography. In my tutorial, I should also include the reasoning and importance for including a bibliography, as well as teach plagiarism and the negative aspects that could accompany it.
