By the end of this lesson, you'll have a handy Internet-use permission form to send home with your students if you choose to do so.
The Internet is a great tool for students to use when they're doing research for a report. But what about students who are too young to understand that they can't turn in reports they just copied from the Internet? What should you do when you spot passages students lifted? In this lesson, we'll discuss the ways students use the Internet to cheat and why they do it. You'll learn how to recognize Internet plagiarism and how to prevent it.
