1) Create and Share a Project Folder
Before you begin to research your topic, create a project folder. Just like a physical folder, this allows you to store all of your sources in one place.
After you create a project folder, mouse under the sharing column to: 
- add an another student(s) if working in a group project
- share with your teacher (they will need to provide you with the name of their inbox)

Cite a Print Book
Most books have been given a unique number called an ISBN. Typically you can find an ISBN on the back of the book at the bottom of the cover (if not look at the copyright page). It can either be a ten digit or thirteen digit number and both are fine to try. Screenshot Tips
