Thing 31: bibliographic tools

Easybib.com saved my life during history day. It is so much easier than the days when we all had to have a bibliography reference book on our lap as we typed up our sources. I can remember counting the spaces, making sure I had a comma vs. a period...all of those very small details. Easybib.com made it so much easier on the students and on me. I have tried to teach writing a bibliography the "old-fashioned" way and I rarely got one that was correct. For History Day the kids actually have to do an annotated bibliography and easybib.com has that as an option.

I love EasyBib!!! We are now teaching the sixth graders to use it! Yeah! I hope we can get past the mechanics and into more of the rationale behind the purpose of the bibliography. I hope we can continue to improve the quality of research that our kids are doing.
