Conducting research and writing for this annotated bibliography was a heavy process, one that I learned a lot from. I struggled, a lot, with where I fit in as a non-school teacher looking forward in time to projects I know little about and don't currently work on.
My APA skills weren't as hot as I figured they'd be; I knew I had gaping holes in what I knew, but here they were revealed in all their inadequate glory. Purdue's OWL was a great help, as was this gem that I found which I can't recommend enough: http://www.ecu.edu.au/centres/library-services/workshops-and-training/referencing/related-content/downloads/ECU-Referencing-Guide-2014-July-update.pdf.
I also enjoyed (a LOT) digging into Google Scholar and Google Docs' research tools. And ultimately, what I was learned in all the reading and writing about topics that interest me was invaluable.
