<p> Due to the tight budget (thank you, Mister President) we are looking for a free or low-cost tool to check our students (middle and high) for plagiarized content. Yeah, we need high quality for a smart cost, Turnitin is totally out of our budget. Any suggestions?</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"> Plagiarism is a <strong>theft</strong>. It means that you <strong>stole</strong> someone's identity, someone's thoughts. It's horrible. <em>We should teach our young generation not to be thieves and avoid plagiarism.</em></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"> But theft it's not the biggest problem. As educator and psychologist I did a range of anonymous tests and I found that the most common <strong>reason of plagiarizing is fear</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>Yes, fear.</em></strong></span></p>
<p>Fear of being <strong><em>incorrect</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Fear of being <em><strong>not accepted</strong></em> in college or university.</p>
<p>Fear to show their own feelings and personal opinion.</p>
<p>Psychological <em><strong>pressure</strong></em> from family.<br/> Students don't feel teacher's support, sometimes they are <em><strong>afraid their teachers.</strong></em><br/> Lack of motivation.<br/> Students plagiarize in case they are stressed out and panicked.<br/> Or the simpliest reason - the subject isn't interesting.</p>
<p> /How to teach our students avoid plagiarism without intimidation? By motivating. How to inspire them? How to make them believe in themselves?</p>
<p>I think that schools, colleges and universities should use plagiarism checkers and make free access for students. Nowadays we know a lot of plag detectors, suc as PlagScan, CopyScan,<span> Copyleaks, Plagskan, Plagium,</span> Grammarly, Turnitin and so on. We prefer <a href="http://unicheck.com" target="_blank">Unicheck</a> <span>that provides you with real-time reporting. But anyway such detection tools make the process of defining plagiarism easier.</span></p> The Most Effective Ways to Avoid Plagiarismtag:www.classroom20.com,2016-05-26:649749:Topic:11115922016-05-26T13:24:00.855ZLeona Hintonhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/LeonaHinton

After spending weeks, months and years teaching proper citation and academic honesty, finding plagiarism can sting a little. Students plagiarize for a variety of reasons (many of them innocuous, many not) and while we agree that these reasons merit a discussion, we’re going to take the easy route (it <em>is</em> Monday morning after all) and instead talk about a new website we came across called <a href="http://www.plagtracker.com/">PlagTracker</a>. We suggest sharing it with your students.</p>
<p><b>PlagTracker: A free plagiarism detector</b></p>
<p>Plag Tracker is a free web application that allows users to <b>copy and paste their documents into a plagiarism detector.</b> Using a “checking algorithm,” Plag Tracker then <b>checks your work against 14 billion web pages and 5 million academic papers.</b> </p>
<p>We uploaded one of our blogs—one we posted on our site and also on a few other education-related websites—just to see what would happen. 15 minutes after we submitted our work, we received an email notification, along with a link, which took us to the <b>final report.</b> Here’s what it looked like:</p>
<p><img id="img-1364304964439" src="http://info.marygrove.edu/Portals/94958/images/plagiarism-detector-2.png" alt="plagiarism detector" class="alignCenter" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" border="0" height="438" width="548" name="img-1364304964439"/><br/> Conveniently, <b>every plagiarized sentence becomes a hyperlink</b>. When you click on it, a new hyperlink to the original source appears under “sources found.”</p>
<p>If you look to the right, under “Sources Found,” you’ll see all of the sources PlagTracker thinks we “plagiarized” from. Like we said above, <b>we often repost our own blogs on educational communities and websites like ASCD Edge.</b> True to its word, Plag Track did a nice job of finding them.</p>
<p>While Plag Track is useful, it’s not flawless. For example, it suggested that the sentence below came from a Wikipedia entry about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Security_Essentials">Microsoft Security Essentials.</a> <br/> <br/> <em>“If you are looking for a few more tips for providing effective feedback, check out one of our recent blogs, “Offering your students effective feedback: 5 essentials.”</em></p>
<p>Huh? Like we said, it’s not perfect, but still quite useful.</p>
<p>Your students are welcome to use Plag Track’s service for free, but they can also upgrade to a Premium account for $7.49 a month which gives them access to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Instant reports (no processing time)</li>
<li>Grammar checks</li>
<li>Reference processing</li>
<li>PDF versions of their reports so they can view them offline</li>
<li>Database checks, which will cross check the publications database</li>
<li>File uploading capabilities</li>
<li>Unlimited checking volume for large documents</li>
</ul>
<p>Since the service is free, you might consider not only having your students submit their work to Plag Track, but also have them <b>attach a copy of the final report to their work when they submit it for your review.</b></p>
<p><b>If you're looking to suppliment your writing curriculum, we’ve put together a new guide<em>,</em> <em>Writing Reinvented.</em> Inside you’ll find:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Two strategies for writing a thesis statement</li>
<li>Two strategies to help your students defeat writer’s block</li>
<li>An engaging way to teach grammar…without actually teaching grammar</li>
<li>“Flash Fiction”: An assignment that challenges students to write a story in six words</li>

<p>I am working on a session for grade 7 students that will introduce them to the idea of digital plagiarism - of text, videos, music and images. I want them to understand that the need to cite not only information, but also images, videos and music they use in their productions. I am looking for a few good, short videos that I might be able to include in this session. Does anyone have any suggestions? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

The turnitin.com website is used extensively by the English teachers in my high-school building. I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar site dedicated to foreign-language. Thanks!

Is there a mechanism that can detect writing styles? What I am trying to figure out is how can we catch students that are turning in papers that they have bought from someone else. We already use turnitin.com to prevent plagiarism but how can we prevent students from buying papers online?<br/>
