The library skills teacher and I have taught students how to use "Recipes 4 Success" which is a computer program that helps them document their resources in a works cited page.

Goal: As a teacher, I need to talk with other educators to see what is out there for students to help meet this standard. The students did have pen pals from Thailand and it would be nice for students to be able to do this digitally.
