Justification & Spacing
Don’t justify text
APA says to use double spacing, research says 1.5 spacing is easier to read. Either is Ok, but I prefer 1.5.

Cite all authors up to 6
When I see this: According to Roblyer et al. (1997), studies suggest . . .
And then check the Bibliography and see that there are THREE authors for this article, the citation should be:According to Roblyer, Edwards and Havriluk (1997),
studies suggest . . .

IF there are more than Six authors:
In text, use first author only:

But in reference list, include all names.

And Dots!!!
Ellipsis points to indicate omissions in quotes:
Three points, separated by spaces within sentences:Schmoe, Verboze, and Schnoz claim “in 1970 . . . the 428 Hemi was a killer V-8 application.”
Use four points to indicate that an entire sentence was omitted.

More Common Errors
Factual comments need citations:Computer anxiety is easily overcome in as little as 10 minutes by playing video games.
If opinion, say so:This writer believes that children will benefit from using Galaxy Whiz to learn basic chemistry.
Translates to: In my opinion

Research suggests that authoring programs, such as Hyperstudio help students to understand concepts more deeply as well as making connections between existing information. It not only allows higher level thinking it demands it. It is a student centered, interactive learning environment suited to the discovery method of learning. It is non-linear but demands logical thought and moves students out of the role of passive learner to the role of active learner.

A common sighting:

That teachers have a high level of awareness of what type of software fits with their type of lesson, project, or unit plan is important.
