Mini Paper Revise

This week I revised my mini paper discussing the effects of ethnicity on 8th grade reading scores using this format. I have seen this APA journal format most commonly in my historical research and education research for my projects in home/school connection. I sought out many articles using the SU databases provided on the library's homepage. The librarians are also great resources for finding scholarly articles. I do like the idea of the "abstract" or "introduction" on each article. This allows a future researcher to briefly examine the purpose, validity, and usefulness of the article to future research.

When first trying to read my comments on my first paper, I could only see small yellow boxes that indicated a comment was made, yet no additional information was provided.

I tried opening the file in various programs, but was not successful until opening in PDFzenPDF Viewer program. Below you'll see the difference in the program's ability to show comments.

Once I found the comments, i was able to edit my paper as needed. The only other item I struggled with was adjusting the paper size. Now, considering most everyone else would say "just Google it", I chose to search first within Word, then Google if needed. Below is how I finally figured it out.

This assignment continued to address NETS Standard 3a and 3d because I am building my knowledge of technology used to share my current knowledge of systems and modeling digital tools for use in everyday situations. Should I continue to pursue my Ph.D or another master's degree, this research/formatting activity will be very useful.
