  • Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty, and it is necessary for all students to understand its definition, and learn how to recognize and avoid all forms of plagiarism by using information ethically.
  • plagiarism is cheating by claiming the work of others as one’s own.
  • Plagiarism is theft of credit and covers ideas as well as forms of expression”

  • (Online Ethics Center, 2005, para. 1).
  • in-text citations
  • Even when a student “forgets” to cite a source, they are guilty of plagiarism.
  • 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
  • relationship between information literacy and plagiarism (Boden & Carroll, 2006)
  • For example, does reprinting a paragraph from a work count as plagiarism if you change some of the wording? (The answer is yes, and believe it or not, this trips up plenty of students.)
  • They are then asked to identify keywords and summarize the paragraph into their own words, thus illustrating proper paraphrasing techniques.
  • Improper paraphrasing is a form of plagiarism, but paraphrasing correctly can be a challenge
  • 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.

      these are my notes
  • Schools are continually updating their curriculum for digital literacy to keep up with accelerating technological developments. This often includes computers in the classroom, the use of educational software to teach curriculum, and course materials being available to students, online. Some classrooms are designed to use smartboards and audience response systems.

  • Spurred by the unlimited texting plans
  • The phenomenon is beginning to worry physicians and psychologists, who say it is leading to anxiety, distraction in school, falling grades, repetitive stress injury and sleep deprivation.
  • 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?’ ”

  • 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.”
