Here ya go, Jennifer. Dado
The article doesn't talk about tools, though. You can build a jig and use a router or use a table saw and dado blade. You can even chop them with a chisel. If they are stopped dados, you'll probably need a chisel to square up the stopped end regardless of which power tool you choose. the router will leave a rounded end and the dado blade will leave a curved incline in the dado. Although, some folks shape the tenon to fit rather than chopping the dado square. Different strokes.
