  • consequences of unethical behavior.
  • students engage information and extract it from a source (Eisenberg, 2001). This is the perfect opportunity to help students understand how to use information ethically by citing properly.
  • ethical use of information

  • Students that are instructed in the boundaries of plagiarism and those who learn why a certain act is considered plagiarism are provided the tools to success and learning.
  • Do not automatically assume that your students know the definition of plagiarism.

  • Psychologists expect to see teenagers break free from their parents as they grow into autonomous adults, Professor Turkle went on, “but if technology makes something like staying in touch very, very easy, that’s harder to do; now you have adolescents who are texting their mothers 15 times a day, asking things like, ‘Should I get the red shoes or the blue shoes?’ ”
  • anxiety about being out
  • painful cramping in her thumbs
  • “Based on our experiences with computer users, we know intensive repetitive use of the upper extremities can lead to musculoskeletal disorders, so we have some reason to be concerned that too much texting could lead to temporary or permanent damage to the thumbs.”
