Tech Research Class

After the initial lessons on ethics, plagiarism, copyright, website evaluation, and internet safety, the Tech Research class spent a great deal of time learning library and technology research skills to enhance their research paper topics for Social Studies. Using the Inspiration software, they organized their thoughts and created draft outlines that they will use for their final papers.

Great job on your outlines! Now onto Excel and Power Point! Let's practice analyzing data gathered and presenting your information to the class.
