Citation presentations available through Wayground (formerly Quizizz) provide comprehensive concept explanation and visual learning opportunities that guide students through the essential skills of properly crediting sources in academic writing. These structured instruction resources break down complex citation formats including MLA, APA, and Chicago styles, using clear visual examples and step-by-step demonstrations to help students understand when and how to incorporate different types of sources into their research papers. The presentations develop critical academic integrity skills by teaching students to distinguish between direct quotes, paraphrases, and summaries while demonstrating proper in-text citation techniques and bibliography formatting that meets scholarly standards. Wayground's extensive collection of millions of teacher-created citation presentations supports educators through robust search and filtering capabilities that allow teachers to locate resources aligned with specific citation styles, academic levels, and curriculum standards. The platform's differentiation and customization tools enable instructors to modify existing presentations or combine multiple resources to address varying student needs, from introducing basic citation concepts to reinforcing advanced source integration techniques. These digital-first presentation resources offer flexible delivery formats that accommodate diverse classroom settings, supporting teachers in their planning efforts while providing targeted materials for remediation with struggling students and enrichment opportunities for advanced learners who need to master sophisticated research documentation skills.
