I am still very much a newbie with much of the Google suite because I don't use it as much with my learning impaired K kids.  So it can take me a while to find an application where I think "yes !  That will save me heaps of time !".  It's not "directly with kids" but it is something that really informs our PLC practices (and therefore kids' school experience) in Speech-Language and that's the annotated bibliography.  I found a paragraph I'd clipped from an email to a parent.  The references contained are helpful to share with my team.  So at the risk of using a very basic add-on that most people already use in their sleep, I stuck with EasyBib and used it for what appeals to me most - the journal search.

I found that it can be tricky to use Easy-Bib if the reference you want is a book chapter because then the citation isn't really a "journal" yet isn't the "book" either.  I solved that in this trial annotated biblio-paragraph by just adding the book title in the within-text citation. So it's something I will play around with more but I know my team (who do a lot of journal article reading) will all go "Oh wow" when I show them this and it will make my sharing of Evidence Based Practice resources sooo much easier.

Despite being such a beginner I've taken away ideas from every week of this course.  It's been great learning.
