The purpose of this site is to take an extensive list of websites that are considered high quality, reliable, and valuable and organize them in a way that even "non-techy" teachers can utilize them. It took around 10 years to collect these resources, but new ones are found every day. All of these websites have been recommended by other teachers and educational organizations and qualify as "the best". You'll find support for all core curriculum areas. In addition, you will find lesson plans, multimedia, and primary sources to enhance your students' learning environment.

Tip #1: Your assignment should match your course goals/objectives. Don’t “do” writing just to say you’ve done it.
Make sure it’s going to help you with your bigger objectives in the course.

Tip #2: You don’t need to be an expert yourself. No one expects you to be a grammarian. (In fact, plenty of English
teachers are stumped by our language at times.) If you need an expert, see tip #6, but really, just concentrate on what you need
from the paper. Give kids guidelines for the format, but don’t make it your primary focus.

Previously I talked about how to cite Twitter and Facebook posts or feeds in general, which you can do quite easily by mentioning the URLs in text (with no reference list entries required).

Today I address some of the issues pertaining to citing particular posts, which require both reference list entries and in-text citations. As you may have noticed, the Publication Manual does not give specific guidance on how to do this. This is an evolving area, and blog discussions will be considered as we create guidelines related to these new references sources for future APA Style products.
