Turnitin

Did you ever think that you could actually go to the net and take information off without giving someone besides yourself credit? Well guess what, it does not happen that way. If you are required to actually do any kind of research or assignments that require you to find out information you should always give credit to the place or person that is giving the information. We actually call that citing your information. And another thing is you can not go to the site and actually copy it word for word either, this is called plagarizing. This turnitin site is actually the site that is going to catch someone who has actually cheated and copied work word for word. Some teachers do not use this site but I actually think this is a great site because all of the students of all ages need to be aware they have to use their own words when writing about something. I found this to actually be very easy to do because all that is needed is for you to write your report in word and upload it to the turnitin site and it will give you a score (percentage) of what you did in your own word and you would like to be below a 25%. If you do not reach this score you may want to re-write the report. I think this meets the NETS Citizenship and Responsibility because we as students and adults need to take pride in our own work and not copy from others and that requires being responsible for what someone does.
