• Skip the Contributors line
• Click on website

• Click "Create Citation" and done!

EasyBib Information: March 23, 2016

Hi everyone,
By now, you should have your Change Comes to Exeter project well underway.  I see lots of people busily working on scripts, developing presentations, and writing essays - all great things!

HOMEWORK:  PLEASE START CITING YOUR SOURCES.

Now you need to start thinking about citing your sources, using EasyBib.  Keep in mind the following:

• You need to cite the textbook/s you used
• You need to cite the internet sources you researched
• You need to cite any Exeter Historical Society blog posts you used
• YOU NEED TO CITE EVERY PICTURE AND DOCUMENT FROM THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY THAT IS IN YOUR PRESENTATION.  EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

Here is some information for you:

Creating America ISBN # 0-618-37708-5

American Journey ISBN# 0-02-823218-6
Exeter, New Hampshire 1888-1988 ISBN# 0-914339-20-6

How to cite the Exeter Historical Society blog:

• Go to the EasyBib home page
• Choose All 59 options
• Pick blog/podcast
• Choose "article" and "standard blog" at the top of the citation page
• Type in the TITLE of the ARTICLE (not the whole URL!).  Capitalize it correctly!
• Under "contributors" type in the title of the author (it is probably Barbara Rimkunas)
• The website title is Exeterhistory.blogspot.com
• Publisher/sponsor is Exeter Historical Society. Capitalize it correctly!
• Put in the date it was electronically published.  It is located at the TOP of the blog post.
• For "date accessed," click the button that says "today".
• Hit the orange "Create Citation" button.

Ta da!  All set!

To cite photos and digital images, use the title of the item as it is labeled in the Exeter HS materials Google Drive folder.  Make sure you pick the correct item from "All 59 options"! If you have forgotten what I told you to do, fill in what you can and check in with me tomorrow!

Snow or No Snow, We Go On: March 21, 2016

Happy first full day of spring, everyone!  How fitting that we could have a snowstorm on this day.

Today in class, you got started on your presentations. We have this week (gulp!) to get this done.  You will have to work on this assignment outside class time.  This is what you should have done so far:

• Identified a topic to study
• Started a project folder on Google Drive
• Taken group notes from a textbook that relate to your topic in general and generated questions
• Taken individual notes from the internet that relate to your topic in general
• Used the resources (blog posts and pictures) to learn about how your topic affected Exeter
• Identified a major research question to focus your project and shared it on my Google Form
• Uploaded pictures from my Exeter materials into your project folder
• Identified what kind of product you are creating (essay, Google Slides, Prezi, iMovie) 

If you have not finished these things, you need to catch up!

What to do now:

• Except for iMovie, set up your presentation - choose a Prezi or Google Slides template, share it with partners; open a new doc for your essay
• Think about your project - it should have a beginning, a middle, and an end.  What was Exeter like before your technology arrived?  How has it changed Exeter?
• Start an EasyBib for your project. Put your internet sources in it.

Historically Speaking: March 17, 2016

Hi everyone,
At this point, you should be ready to transition from looking at your new technology's history and background, to looking at how your new technology affected life in Exeter.

In order to help me help you, please fill out this form by the end of class (yes, I am Google Form-ing you to DEATH! :D)
