When supporting claims with evidence, you might need to do some research. There are many resources you can choose including online sources, books, newspapers, journals, and podcasts. You will find resources listed here as we discover them together or as I find sources I believe will be useful for your writing.
Please remember that all online sources are not reliable. For example, a third grader's website on using technology in schools might not be accurate. You need to look at the author of a website to decide if they are just offering their opinion or if they are an expert on their topic.
You also need to make sure you understand what the author is saying. You could choose a very reliable author. In fact, your author could be an expert in using technology in schools. However, if you try to use words you don't understand, like pedagogy, your writing won't be effective, either.
