I was surprised that there seemed to be a good amount of articles on this topic. Since the topic of social networking and teachers seems to be a newer problem. I learned that I should not check off the Full Article box when searching for articles. I never knew that the articles could be found by clicking on the yellow “find it” button. The article that I used for this assignment was found using the “find it” button. By doing this I was able to find more articles about my topic. As a forensic chemistry major I have used ACS, CSE, and MLA format before but never APA. This made writing my citation a little more difficult at first. I found a few mistakes even after I posted my citation on wiki. But reviewing the Cook Library website and the link posted on Blackboard I was able to review my citation a find several of the mistakes that I made.

To find this article, I used the Education Research Complete database. I found it very easy to use during the research process. The keywords I used to find this article was "facebook and teachers or educators". However I used other keywords such as "social networking and consequences and teachers or educators" and "teachers or educators and social networking". Overall the research process was very easy to me;.

I thought this research process was very easy and helpful. To find the article, I also used the Education Research Complete database. I entered in a few different key words but the ones that found the article I used were "Facebook or social network* and teach* or educat*." I found the article and topic of social networking very insteresting because it is something I can relate to, seeing as I also have a facebook and am going into the education feild. I would say I learned a lot on how to search for articles using the Cook Library and on our topic of preservice teachers and social networking.
