 It is important to cite information when writing research papers, using other peoples ideas, when you are quoting others, and other instances. If you find yourself asking the question, "Should I cite this because I think it is common knowledge?," I would still go forth and cite the information anyways because it will not hurt. The last thing that you want to get in trouble for is plagiarizing someone else's material or information. Throughout undergraduate and graduate school they recommended that we buy the updated American Psychological Association (APA) manual. There is also a website that provides you with examples of APA papers (www.apa.org), there is a tutorial as well http://flash1r.apa.org/apastyle/basics/index.htm. Another website that will assist you with putting your references in APA format is Son of Citation Machine: http://citationmachine.net/. So the lesson of today is "When in Doubt, Cite Everything."

So if you are not familiar with Boardmaker then you should be after finishing graduate school. I think Boardmaker is such a great resource tool, if you want to try Boardmaker out there is a free 30 day trial typically on Mayer Johnson's (the creator of Boardmaker) website. The website of this week is great to use in conjunction with Boardmaker, especially if you are on the go and do not have a lot of time to create Boardmaker activities. It is a list of Boardmaker activities and downloads for Assistive Technology/Augmentative Alternative Communication websites. This is a great website to keep in your resource file list. Special Thanks to Iriss Shimony for creating such a great resource. |
