Brandi, this is a great article on implications for educators. The ABC rule is something that I think should be used in the classroom. My students use the internet in my class on a daily basis because all my classes are in a computer lab. Educators that utilize the ABC guidelines are practicing the proper copyright laws for both students and teachers. Sometimes my students have difficulty writing definitions in their own words, so they think that they can copy and paste from the internet. Well I make them rewrite the definitions that I can tell that have been copied and pasted. They think that I am being mean by making them rewrite them, but in all reality, I am teaching them that plagiarism is not acceptable on any level even when writing vocabulary words.
