Several students have asked about citing outside sources and what is acceptable. Since this is a paper for teachers and/or practitioners, I am not looking for extensive literature reviews. I am looking to see that you have knowledge of what others are doing in your topic area. Thus, if you are writing on implementing Moodle in your school, you would want to check out what other K-12 schools are doing with Moodle. Your sources will probably be from the web and will be based on practical experience and they will broaden the effect of your paper. Web citations are fine for this assignment. My interest is that you show an awareness of the work of others around your topic---a typical 505 final paper might have 2-6 references.
A typical 505 paper is 8-12 double spaced pages and can't be much longer for publication in most practitioners' journals.
I look forward to reading your outlines next week.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
