We had an excellent SchoolGroup open house at Frank Antonides School in West Long Branch, hosted by librarian Angel Somers with nearly 40 people!
Steve Garwood's presentation, "Plagiarism Prevention," was a sobering reminder of how prevalent--and accepted--plagiarism has become among students, and how hard it is to control. Steve talked about the importance of having a school-wide academic integrity policy that is publicized and enforced and ways to structure assignments to limit "opportunities" to plagiarize.
His Power Point presentation is on his website-- http://www.stevegarwood.com/classes/plagiarismprevention/ along with a handout with online and print resources. He also promised that the audio version of the presentation will be posted on his site as an MP3. I've already added some of the websites from his handout to the plagiarism portion of CJRLC's Help Pages http://www.kn.att.com/wired/fil/pages/listcopyrighhe.html
This all made me think about Tom Lehrer's old song about plagiarism, which contains the following:
"Let no one else's work evade your eyes,
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes,
So don't shade your eyes, But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize...
Only be sure always to call it please, "research"."
