Turn It In

I had the opportunity to use the website TurnItIn. With technology growing, unfortunately plagiarism is growing also. This website detects plagiarism in a paper written. I plagiarized a paper on purpose to see how the website worked. My first paper came up to 96% plagiarized. So I went back and rewrote my paper in my own words and it only came up to be 3% plagiarized. I felt like this website was very accurate.

This website would be very beneficial for teachers to use. This can eliminate plagiarism with students, teachers, workers, etc. Also, the people plagiarizing can understand their consequences because they plagiarized. Turn It In relates to the 4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility a. Advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources under the NETs-T standard. This standard states the importance of teaching students to use digital information correctly. Teachers need to be sure that students understand how plagiarism is unethical. Also, students need to understand that plagiarism can have major consequences and that it is illegal. In conclusion, the Turn It In program helps eliminate plagiarism and promotes the NETs-T standard.
