If you\u2019re browsing a page and want to keep track of the source information, this extension does exactly that. It also allows you to store the information in a format you prefer (e.g. APA, MLA). In this way, you have a record of details like author, article name, year, web location and so on, in a library that you can search through for later reference.<\/p>\n<p>Though most commonly used among students while writing papers, Zotero can help greatly with your lesson planning and pre-planning research by helping you keep track of your sources, especially if you want to make them available to students to read later.<\/p>\n<p>When teaching older students, you may want to encourage the habit of\u00a0<strong>citing their sources in specific formats<\/strong>. Zotero helps students practice this skill without having to memorize the different referencing formats.<\/p>\n<p>It is also a brilliant tool to keep track of the sources you use for a lesson. It enables you to\u00a0<strong>share material with students, parents and colleagues<\/strong>\u00a0later and keep it for your own future reference.<\/p>\n<p>If you publish your lesson notes or teaching methods in an article, it can be very helpful to have easy access to all the references you used. The Zotero word plug-in even helps you\u00a0<strong>generate in-text references<\/strong>\u00a0as you type your article.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Apps with similar functions:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Mendeley, Endnote, JabRef<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><strong><em>Let\u2019s Discuss<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What are some ways in which you help students keep track of their research references?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  Zotero is a referencing tool that you can add on to your Firefox browser as an extension.
