How To Cite Social Media In Scholarly Writing

How To Cite Social Media In Scholarly Writing
How To Cite Social Media In Research by TeachThought Staff Back in 2012, we shared how to cite a tweet. We followed that up with how to cite an app. So when we saw the very useful teachbytes graphic above making some noise on pinterest on several different popular #edtech websites, it reminded us of the constant demands changing technologies place on existing ways we do business. When and in what contexts it makes sense to cite social media content is probably a more relevant post than sharing a graphic that simply shows the format, but they’re both nice to have, yes? Citation Style Of course, citation style matters, and the two most popular are the APA and MLA. The APA (American Psychological Association) has their rules for citing social media in academic writing. And to an extent, this makes sense.

EXCEL Statistics tutorials paired t-test Paired t-test Using Microsoft Excel These tutorials briefly explain the use and interpretation of standard statistical analysis techniques. The examples include how-to instructions for Excel.

Ho: mLoss = 0 (The average weight loss was 0) Ha: mLoss ≠ 0 (The weight loss was different than 0) For example, the following weight loss data is used in this example (DIET.XLS) 1. 3. Thus, the two-tail p-value for this t-test is p=0.008 (.007585988) and t=3.71.

Who would be a librarian now? You know what, I'll have a go | Public Leaders Network “Who would want to become a librarian now?” asked an anonymous public servant on National Libraries Day, seeing before them a graveyard of dead libraries and old reference desks filled by volunteers. A valid question, and one to which I’ll reply: “You know what? I’ll have a go.” I’m training to be a professional librarian, having just finished a lecture on “semantic web ontologies” and “linked data”, and sat dumbstruck in front of a “Dewey Decimal assembler” without a clue as to what I’m looking at. The fact is, I can’t not. Forget all about reading as a pleasure, forget that children should have unlimited access to books, throw away arguments about libraries being lifelines for those less fortunate – they’re falling on deaf ears. As a librarian, it will be my job to make sure those bridges are not burned, and that they’re well maintained and clearly marked, with delightfully efficient help points dotted along the way.

Digital scaffolding - det som glömdes bort - Mia Smith I en tid då språkutveckling är i fokus talas det mycket som scaffolding och stödstrukturer. Mina ämnesspanarkollegor har bloggat så mycket om detta ut olika vinklar att jag inte tänker göra ett försök att täcka in alla inlägg, så centralt är detta. Men det finns ett område där vi, i min mening, glömmer bort att stötta eleverna: informationssökning på internet. Där ska eleverna klara sig själva. I Lgr11 fick informationssökning på internet plats i kursplanerna i språk. ”Olika sätt att söka, välja och värdera texter och talat språk på engelska från Internet och andra medier.” Hur ser det ut idag? Lär vi ut det här? Sök information om ett intressant ämne. eller Hitta följande fakta om ämnet. Sök information om det här ämnet, kopplat till kapitlets innehåll. eller Inga uppgifter alls. Ingen av dessa uppgiftstyper stöttar eleven i uppgiften, och läraren får stå för all stöttning. Hur ska man då göra för att stötta? Instruktionen Ett steg är att i instruktionen leda eleven rätt.

Larry Ferlazzo: Critical thinking I describe it as the ability to seek-out, elicit, and consider different information and various perspectives of situations, fairly weigh the evidence on all sides and how it all connects to existing background knowledge, and then use that process to come to an independent conclusion. Critical thinking skills have been found to help English Language Learners in language acquisition, particularly through increasing problem-solving abilities, oral communication skills, writing competence, and student motivation. However, teaching critical thinking skills is considered to be a major challenge by many ELL teachers because of a number of issues, including students' lack of vocabulary and, in some cases, students coming from prior school environments where that skill was not promoted. There are ways to help ELLs, even at the Beginning Level, to begin developing critical thinking skills. This lesson can easily be adapted to any English Language Learner level. "What if?"

Var hittade du det, då? - Mia Smith Informationssökningen är en del som behöver integreras i undervisningen lika mycket som andra delar av kursplanens innehåll. Jag har bloggat om detta i flera inlägg förut, om digital läsförståelse, ett integrerat realiaprojekt och om det övergripande ansvaret för den digitala undervisningen. Jag tar mig dock friheten att lyfta nya exempel, eftersom det här ett område jag ofta för höra att lärare känner sig osäkra kring. Informationssökning kan kopplas in i vilket arbetsområde som helst, och när man väl fått kläm på grunderna är det lätt att skapa nya övningar. Som vanligt utgår jag från Skolverkets bedömningsstöd i digital läsförståelse, de följdfrågor som finns i de olika uppgifterna där tar jag med mig när jag skapar mina egna följdfrågor. Som alltid när eleverna introduceras för ett nytt område vill jag ge dem en genomgång. Hur får jag då grunden till min genomgång? När eleverna sedan övar på detta gör de det alltid i grupp, helt enkelt för att man lär sig bäst i samspelet med andra.

The Filter Bubble - part one Good morning, everyone. Have you ever noticed that when you log on to the internet, you nearly always see adverts for things that you are interested in? If you were looking for a new pair of trainers last week, suddenly you’ll see adverts for trainers all over the place. Well, this isn’t random. The internet browsers and websites and apps that we use know a lot about us because they monitor how we use their site or app. I saw a great presentation last week by the internet activist Eli Parisier and I want to tell you a little bit about it. So, let me try to explain using a simple example.

How to tell fake news from real news In November 2016, Stanford University researchers made an alarming discovery: across the US, many students can’t tell the difference between a reported news article, a persuasive opinion piece, and a corporate ad. This lack of media literacy makes young people vulnerable to getting duped by “fake news” — which can have real consequences. Want to strengthen your own ability to tell real news from fake news? Start by asking these five questions of any news item: Who wrote it? Real news contains the real byline of a real journalist dedicated to the truth. What claims does it make? When was it published? Where was it published? How does it make you feel? If you get in the habit of asking all 5 of these questions whenever you read a news article, then your basic news literacy skills will start to grow stronger. Laura McClure is an award-winning journalist and the TED-Ed Editor.

Hur bedömer vi informationssökning? - Mia Smith Eleven kan välja texter och talat språk från olika medier samt med viss relevans använda det valda materialet i sin egen produktion och interaktion. (Kunskapskrav för betyget E i år 9, engelska, Lgr11) Progressionen är inte mindre luddig den. E: med viss relevans C: på ett relevant sätt A: på ett relevant och effektivt sätt Här kommer alltså tiden in, för att nå högsta betyg ska man vara effektiv. Eller handlar effektiv om antal minuter? Hur hanterar då Skolverket lärarnas osäkerhet? Skärmutklipp från kommentarmaterialet till kursplanen i engelska/moderna språk. Jag har tidigare bloggat om hur man kan jobba med detta, och visat exempel på hur man kan hjälpa eleverna utveckla sitt tänkande kring digital informationssökning, samt om digital läsförståelse. Nu handlar det inte bara om digitala källor, utan även texter på papper, talat språk osv kan tolkas in, men ordet internet finns nämnt i det centrala innehållet, så det är viktigt att inte glömma bort den digitala aspekten.

Not all scientific studies are created equal - David H. Schwartz "A popular study from the 1970s that helps sell millions of dollars' worth of fish oil supplements worldwide is deeply flawed, according to a new study being published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology. The original study, by Danish physicians H.O. Bang and D.J. Dyerburg, claimed Inuit in Greenland had low rates of heart disease because of their diet, which is rich in fish oil and omega-3 fatty acids from eating fish and blubber from whales and seals."
