Social,
Ethical, and Legal Issues (Turnitin; link to the Revised version only)
The Turnitin assignment for this
course had two parts. For the first part of this assignment the class had to
type a report talking about the social, ethical, legal, and human issues of
technology all in just one page. We were giving a list of questions relating to
the topics and we had to answer all of the questions within our report. The
easy part concerning the first part of the Turnitin assignment was that we
could copy all of the information we needed to answer the questions from the
resources and websites provided by our instructor. Basically we had to plagiarize
the report on purpose. The last step in part one was to submit the report into
Turnitin.com.
The second
part of the Turnitin assignment was very similar to the first part. The only
big difference was that this time instead of copying and pasting the
information gathered from the given websites, we had to actually type it in our
own words; the way it should properly be written instead of plagiarizing. When finished
answering the questions we had to again submit the report into Turnitin.com and
to receive an acceptable number of plagiarism. The first part should have been
scored very high as far as plagiarism while the second should have been scored
very low. This assignment corresponds with the 4th portion of the
NETS-T standard. I know that if I am going to be teacher in middle or high I will
use Turnitin often to check for plagiarism and help prepare my students for their
future in school.
