APA In-text and End-of-text References
Technology raises significant issues for education. Our course Discussions are our opportunity to consider how scientists, expert educators and the greatest thinkers of our age are viewing the changes that technology brings to the education process, to consider whether our experiences align with these new ideas and whether we might consider using these expert ideas in the future. Our own opinion is not enough to contribute to a Discussion. Discussions must include References to expert opinion, either the resources I provide or other resources you find on the topic and bring into the Discussion.
APA Style is the preferred reference style at Rutgers, so I will expect it in this course. You may consult the many guides available to APA Style free on the Internet, especially Purdue Online Writing Lab or Hunt Library
The purpose of a Reference is to point to the specific place where you found the information in enough detail so readers can retrace your steps and verify the information.
If you quote an author or refer to very specific information, you must reference that information right in the text as you write. This is called an “in-text” citation. Include a page number or a screen. Never paste urls into the text of your essay.
If you refer to an author’s ideas you may list their work at the end of your essay in the References section.
To summarize, the course Discussions are based on the readings and other associated research on the topic of the week.
· You must cite the readings or other research at least once both in your initial response and in your response to a classmate.
· If you quote a source, use an in-text citation. Never paste urls into the text of your essay.
· If you refer to an author’s ideas but not specific words, list him or her in the References section at the end of your paper.

Think About You have all been in many, many classrooms and experienced many, many teachers and learning situations. I'm sure you've seen some sketchy practices involving both teachers and students, like these.
· Teachers who copy chapters from a textbook to avoid purchasing new books
· Teachers who show excerpts from popular films during class
· Students who download term papers from getapaper.com
· Parents who decorate the PTA newsletter with Disney characters
· Schools that post the passcode to a licensed resource, such as BrainPOP.com on the school website
But wait, are all those examples violations of copyright? What about exceptions for schools, such as "fair use"? And what are the consequences if you violate copyright? Do Plagiarism Police take students to Plagiarism jail?
Write Can you share an example of a practice you've observed that conformed to fair use? How about one that did not conform to fair use? Please describe at least one scenario related to fair use in education. Examples from the "gray area" are especially helpful. Do you have more questions?
