Upload a copy of the completed form to the ITAS LO2 Task 2  Internet Planning Form submission box in the Assessment Materials and Submission area on Blackboard for marking and feedback. 

Task 3:  Internet Research and Bibliography

Use the Internet to source equipment for your classroom. For each item you locate, take a note of the following (you will need this information for the next few tasks):

• Some brief details (e.g. dimensions, model number, power rating etc. Use whatever is most appropriate for the item. Use your judgement).
• Supplier’s name and a link to their website.
• An image of the item.
• A link to the web page featuring the item.

Using this information, create a bibliography in Microsoft Word which describes each item. You must include a Harvard (or Vancouver) style reference for each item’s web page. Make the weblinks in each reference active (i.e. clickable) hyperlinks.

NB: If you are including computers in your room layout, please remember to also include and source appropriate software. Find at least 2 relevant software applications.

Ensure that page breaks are used appropriately, if required. Do not have a heading at the bottom of a page with no text underneath it, and do not have sections that split over pages.

Add your name to the footer of your document.

ANSWER

To complete the Internet planning form and create a bibliography for sourcing equipment for your classroom, please follow these steps

Access the Internet planning form provided in the Assessment Materials and Submission area on Blackboard. Download and open the form in a suitable software application, such as Microsoft Word or a PDF editor.

Begin your Internet research to source equipment for your classroom. Use search engines, online marketplaces, educational suppliers, or other relevant websites to find the items you need.

For each item you locate, take note of the following information:
 Brief details: Include relevant details such as dimensions, model numbers, power ratings, or any other specifications that are appropriate for the item.
Supplier’s name and website link: Note the name of the supplier or company from which you found the item, along with the website link to their page or product.
Image of the item: Save or capture an image of the item you found. You can take a screenshot or download an image from the supplier’s website.
Web page link: Copy the web page link or URL that features the item you found.

With the gathered information, open a new Microsoft Word document or any other suitable software to create your bibliography.

Format your bibliography using the Harvard or Vancouver style, following the guidelines provided by your instructor or institution. Include a reference for each item using the appropriate format, including the supplier’s name, item details, and the active hyperlink to the web page featuring the item.

If you are including software applications, make sure to find at least two relevant applications and source them appropriately. Include their details in the bibliography with active hyperlinks to their respective web pages.

Review your bibliography and ensure that page breaks are used appropriately, especially if required by your instructor’s guidelines. Avoid having headings at the bottom of a page with no text underneath and ensure sections do not split over pages.

Once you have completed the bibliography, save the document in the required format (e.g., Word document, PDF) and prepare it for submission according to your instructor’s instructions on Blackboard.

Remember to refer to the specific guidelines and requirements provided by your instructor for the Internet planning form and bibliography to ensure you meet all the necessary criteria for marking and feedback.
