All through middle school and high school, students are taught how to cite sources properly. Students must know how to give credit to other authors and scholars when doing any type of research. When I first learned about citing sources properly, my sixth-grade teacher introduced me to BibMe. BibMe is a website that automatically creates the bibliography students need to put in their essays and projects.
It has many options on what type of citation you want to create. You can choose APA formatting or MLA or more. The way it works if that students search for the author, title, or website link into the search bar and BibMe will automatically find it. Once you see the right one, you can click on it, and BibMe will find the author, publication date, and everything you need to create a proper citation. It’s will ask you to find certain information from your source if BibMe cannot find it, but the website does all the important work for you. This website has many other features but generating your bibliography is what it’s known most for. Another bonus is that it’s free.
As a future teacher, I think that this website is a great way for students to learn how to create citations. Yes, I will teach them how to make their bibliography without needing this website, but everything is online nowadays, so giving them this resource isn’t a bad thing. I use it all the time and it’s one less thing to worry about when writing an essay. BibMe generates everything in less than five minutes. It really is a lifesaver.
