AppendixD:AnnotatedBibliographyEntryTemplate

When you save this document in your Capstone Google shared folder, you are required to
name this as Annotated entry #__ so that it is clear which entry this is and to ensure that it
is easy to find at a later stage in this process. Be sure that you leave a blank copy of this
template in your Google shared folder template file so that you have it available for the next
entries.

Two annotated entries are provided in this template for the two required sources due each time
annotated bibliography entries are due.

Women in computing decline to 22% by 2025, study warns

Citation:
You are encouraged to use EasyBib to house your citations and then copy and paste from the site. Its
easy and they guarantee that you format correctly. The EasyBib site will default, depending on subject
area you identified when you set up your bibliography page, to either MLA or APA (or other formatting

EasyBib established and use it consistently.

If you are citing a website, you MUST include the URL (despite what EasyBib will generate and/or
Purdue OWL says).

Evaluatingthesource
Before you spend time reading the source, put your source through this brief test and determine whether its worth
using and documenting as part of your research. We are using a customized version of the CRAAP (an acronym for
Currency-Relevance-Authority- Accuracy-Purpose) test, designed by California State University at Chicos Meriam
Library.
Put an x (as appropriate) in relevant spaces.

___yes _x__no If this is an online source, is there anything revealed in the URL (which you have

customers or online comments?

Purpose

___yes ____no What appears to be the purpose of the information in the source? Is it to inform,
teach,
sell, entertain, or persuade?
___yes ____no Is the information provided fact or opinion? (This does not mean that this is not a
credible source; it just asks if youve identified what the bias might be and are keeping

b) -What new ideas did you get that extended or broadened your thinking in new directions?

I got new ideas of exactly how much computer science offers for girls (according to the source:
Todays middle school girls have the potential to fill 1.6 million extra computing positions by
2025 twice the potential of high school and college girls combined.") It also gave ideas on
how to encourage girls to pursue computer science and how we can make a difference in society,
not just in my class, such as encouraging parents to send their daughters to computer camps and
generating interest in junior high.

c) -What challenges or puzzles have come up in your mind from the ideas and information presented?

d) Can you provide at least two quotes and/or statistical information from your source that you think
might prove helpful and/or relevant to your project?

The share of women in the computing workforce has slipped to 24% today from 37% in 1995.
Silicon Valley is a stark illustration of the growing gender gap in high tech. At major companies
here, men account for 70% of employees.

"Todays middle school girls have the potential to fill 1.6 million extra computing positions by 2025
twice the potential of high school and college girls combined."

b) -What new ideas did you get that extended or broadened your thinking in new directions?

I got a lot of new ideas on how to structure my curriculum and how to make code fun for kids.
The page offers a lot of games, such as Code Avengers and Storm the Castle, that introduce kids
to programming in a fun and engaging way, as well as ideas for more serious lessons once they
get excited about what they are doing. Some of the more serious tools include Codecademy,
 which I have used in the past, Computer Science For Kids, and CodeNow.
