A web-based tool that I would use during teaching is www.easybib.com. This website is GREAT for making a bibliography. As an English teacher, I would recommend this site to all my students when writing pages. Gone are the days of having to know how every source used for a paper should be properly documented, now we have a handy website to do it for us. Some may say that it is better to memorize how everything should be written and classified, but nowadays there are a lot more sources and you would need a reference on how to do it anyway. Why not have a site that could do it for you?

Easybib is great because I want my students to spend their time focusing on their paper and research, not on how to organize their bibliography. The site also puts them into alphabetical order, and it will even print it out for you in standard Word format and everything. It really is a great resource that I still use today for my papers.

A technology skill that I would most like to learn how to add video to a slideshow. I know how to put the animation on the slides, but now how to put separate videos. I know that this would definitely be a great way to spice up a presentation if something visually explanatory could be added.

I can achieve future educational technology goals by always learning new technology when it comes out and figuring out ways to implement them into the classroom. By staying ahead of the technology curve, I can bring new and exciting things to the classroom that most teachers won't be able to. I can also work to implement them in my school or even district to make technology an integral part of the classroom and learning so that kids will enjoy coming to school.
