2. Tech & Learning
On Day One, you learned that
information comes from many
sources.
On Day Two, you learned how to
find information on the Internet.
On Day Three, you found out how
to find and save images that were
okay to use.

3. Tech & Learning
All of the information we use
comes from somewhere.
Responsible researchers give
credit to the writers,
photographers, artists, and
videographers who create
the information that we use
in our research. That’s called
citing your sources.

4. Tech & Learning
Let’s look at some
examples of citing
sources from the
Internet.

5. Tech & Learning
Alexa is doing research
on starfish. She is going
to cite her sources as she
gathers information.

6. Tech & Learning
She got some great information
from this website:

7. Tech & Learning
Here’s how she cited her website source:
August 18, 2014. National Geographic Online.
“Starfish (Sea Star)”
http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/anima
ls/invertebrates/starfish/
Sources
First, write the date that you used the article.
Then, list the source or author.
Next, write the title of the article in quotation marks.
Finally, add the URL (website address ) in italics.

8. Tech & Learning
Alexa also saved some images
from this creative commons site:

9. Tech & Learning
Alexa cited her image source like this:
Hanson, Jon. Ecology Global Network.
October 12, 2012. “Crown of Thorns Starfish.”
Sources
First, write the name of the photographer. You will find
the photographer’s name in the caption below the photo.
Then, write the title of the website where the image was
found. You do not need to write the address.
Next, write the date that the photograph was taken.
Finally, write the title of the image in quotation marks.

10. Tech & Learning
Alexa learned a lot about starfish
when she watched this video:

11. Tech & Learning
Here’s the way she cited her video source:
UCTV Prime. “Marine Science Looks to the
Stars.” October 25, 2012. Online video. You
Tube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTpeGr9J
EYY. Viewed on August 18, 2014.
October 12, 2012. “Crown of Thorns Starfish.”
Sources
First, write the name of source or person that made the video.
Then, write the title of the video in quotation marks.
Next, write the date that the video was made or posted.
After that, write the name of the place where the video was found.
Finally, write the date that you viewed the video.

12. Tech & Learning
Today, you learned how to cite
three kinds of Internet resources:
 websites
 images
 videos
Tomorrow, we will talk
about digital citizenship.
