EDTECH Research

My instructional objective with accompanying annotated bibliography for our EDTECH Research assignment can be viewed at this link.

I enjoyed this assignment because research is something that I do and work with on a regular basis. I had no idea how much more refined Google Scholar had become in the years since I was a research assistant in grad school. If it can continue to be refined and expanded, it could ultimately do away with the need to visit sites like EBSCOhost and JSTOR to find empirical research. I was also blown away by the citation features, both in Google Drive and Scholar. It drastically reduces the work involved in putting together a works cited list or bibliography. The tedium of formatting citations has always been one of my least favorite things about research so this was a welcome surprise.
