    1. Problems with Papers Mostly APA Stuph plus a tiny dose of GRAMMAR!!!!!

    3. Justification & Spacing Don’t justify text APA says to use double spacing, research says 1.5 spacing is easier to read. Either is Ok, but I prefer 1.5.

    4. Cite all authors up to 6 When I see this: According to Roblyer et al. (1997), studies suggest . . . And then check the Bibliography and see that there are THREE authors for this article, the citation should be: According to Roblyer, Edwards and Havriluk (1997), studies suggest . . .

    5. IF there are more than Six authors: In text, use first author only: (Schmoe et al., 1999). But in reference list, include all names.

    6. And Dots!!! Ellipsis points to indicate omissions in quotes: Three points, separated by spaces within sentences: Schmoe, Verboze, and Schnoz claim “in 1970 . . . the 428 Hemi was a killer V-8 application.” Use four points to indicate that an entire sentence was omitted.

    7. More Common Errors Factual comments need citations: Computer anxiety is easily overcome in as little as 10 minutes by playing video games. If opinion, say so: This writer believes that children will benefit from using Galaxy Whiz to learn basic chemistry.

    8. APA Headings in Text Body Helps readers organize text Helps writers organize text Most writers only need two levels (1 & 3) (link to example-slide 28) or Three levels (1,3 & 4) (link to example-slide 27)

    9. Quotes Quiz: What is wrong with……. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and blah or blah, but Alessi and Trollip proposed these stages: “(1) the presentation of information or learning experiences; (2) initial guidance as the student struggles to understand the information or execute the skill to be learned; (3) extended practice to provide fluency or speed or to ensure retention; and (4) the assessment of student learning”

    10. No Page number More than 40 words so block Quote:

    21. IT

    24. A common sighting: It is important for teachers to have a high level of awareness of what type of software fits with their type of lesson, project, or unit plan.

    25. How ‘bout That teachers have a high level of awareness of what type of software fits with their type of lesson, project, or unit plan is important.

    26. Or even better: Importantly, teachers need to have a high level of awareness of what type of software fits with their type of lesson, project, or unit plan.

    28. Design of the Study Sample The sample was preservice education students, ages 18 to 50, (M = 24.7), enrolled in an introductory computer course at a mid-Eastern university of 17,000 students.

    29. The Promise of Email Fast Personal Communication Email is extremely fast which allows efficient communication between individuals such as professors and students.
