  Case: Plagirism
With information so easily available on the Internet, how do I discourage and prevent plagiarism by my 6th graders
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There are programs that teachers can use to prevent and catch plagiarism that is taking place. To use the program, the students will submit there work on the specified website and it will be able to monitor the students' work and will catch areas that were not written by the student and were taken from a source. One example of this type of website is called Turn It In (www.turnitin.com). Using this system, teachers will be able to easily check work for plagiarism.

Comments: Perhaps telling students about how you will be using the program can prevent plagiarism but simply using it without first explaining to them the procedures and consequences for plagiarizing won't stop the issue.
