Participate 2.1.1 Collecting Reputable Digital Resources Quest

I used Symbaloo to collect sources and web 2.0 tools. The tools are geared more toward an ELA High School classroom because that is what I teach. Many of the tools are more specific to AP Literature because they tend to do more online outside of class. I used other teacher's blogs and wiki's to help compile this list. 

What were the three most useful tools or resources resulting from the web walkabout? 
1. PearDeck
This is a great tool to use during a lecture because it requires students to be actively engaged in the lecture. Teachers can upload presentations previously created and add questions and interactive elements into the presentation. 
2. Owl at Purdue
I use this site all of the time with my students. It's a great place to refer students where they can find the answer for themselves. The Owl is accurate and up to date. It can be a challenge to keep print resources up to date with the changing style guides. The Owl, however, is updated often and easy for students to read and navigate. I love the samples they provide as well. 
3. Mrs. Effie
For AP and Pre-AP Resources, Mrs. Effie is the Queen. She not only provides resources for teachers, but she also provides a plethora of study material for students. Before I create anything for a class, I visit Mrs. Effie. 

How can students be taught to safely collect tools and resources that can help them maximize their learning? 
First, I think students must understand that anything they find as a resource, should be FREE. It's also important for students to understand how to cite the information they find and how to use a resource without plagiarizing. For many students, they do not understand the line between using a resource for information and plagiarizing a resource. 

What policies or procedures might need to be in place to make this possible?
Teaching students how to cite the resources they find would be the first step in insuring that students do not plagiarize.
