Using Microsoft Word To Reference

Microsoft Word is really useful in helping to reference. In assignments, you have to reference citations from various sources, such as books, journal articles and websites, to support your work. The Harvard Referencing guide shows you how to reference correctly in your work, what you need to include and in what order. For example, author, date, location of publication, publisher. 
          I found that using Microsoft Word, there is a feature which allows you to type in your reference, and it inserts it into your work using the Harvard Referencing format (Word 2010). You don’t have to use the Harvard Referencing guide; there are other options too, such as APA sixth addition. It also stores your references you have used and there is an option to put together a reference list or bibliography. This is helpful, as if you want to use a reference which you have used before, you can look it up in the history and use it again. 

Animation- evaluation of Kerpoof

Kerpoof is a vibrant, easy to use website which has many interactive features based on making art work, movies, and features which allows children to chat to friends. The website is easy to navigate around; the homepage has many icons to click on. Each feature has a suitable age range; therefore the website is aimed at children. The age range varies from three to eight. Not only does it make learning fun, it has games to play and the chance to become a member at an extra cost.

          The website also has features for teachers, lesson plans and teacher guides. There is a how to play icon and a video for the teacher section explaining what the website is about. There is a page "about us" explaining what the website is based on and its aims. The website is free, but some aspects are not, and a monthly membership fee is required. There is the option to make your own movies, drawings, cards and pictures. The overall feel for the website is high quality and straight forward. My ten year old brother loves this website, and goes on it in his school ICT lessons, so he helped me put together an animation!
