Instead of focusing our concerns on technology as an aid to plagiarizers, we should focus on its ability to foster creativity and collaboration, says Jen Carey.

We are told that we should be personalizing instruction, but how do we know that this is happening? This post explores this dilemna and provides an example rubric that looks at issues of quality control as well as appearance and structure. As teachers we are aware that issues of accuracy and understanding are critical. Yet our tasks are shifting, and Gleeson also brings up ten questions that we should consider that include: * Are we expecting students to provide evidence for every fact they state in a report (and are we checking them)? * Are we putting more emphasis on presentation and note enough on the content? * Do our assessment rubrics give enough credit for the accuracy, depth and understanding of the information or are these factors downplayed at the expense of grammar, text structure, presentation and checklist of what requirements were met? *Do we check for understanding of the references they use to research their topic? An additional six questions are raised in the post. This post may raise more questions that it answers, but it draws attention to issues that we are facing in our classroom.

Beth Dichter's insight:
Check out this infographic that explores the difference between traditional teaching and learning, and contemporary teaching and learning. Where is your classroom in this continuum...and where to you think teaching and learning will be 10 years from now?

This will help us as we transition from a primarily face-to-face training service to providing more online options for our students.

Hi Monica. Thank you for following my topic and welcome to Scoop.it. It looks like you are off to a great start. My advice for all new curators is to create a tagging system and tag all posts. It helps you find your old posts, it helps your visitors, and Scoop.it will reward you with a high score. Good luck.

Gleeson shares three scenarios that may happen in your classroom (they did in his) and in each case the result was that the students were not able to use the Internet. When we work with technology things often happen, and the end result may be the lesson plan that you had goes out the window. This post asks us if we are prepared for these types of scenarios and raises some other questions that may be considered. http://mgleeson.edublogs.org/2012/07/05/web-2-0-for-the-under-13s-crowd/. (It is also in this Scoop.it).

As teachers we know how easy it is for students to plagiarize today. We are asked to have students work collaboratively and use tools where students may see others thoughts. How to we deal with these issues, the need for collaboration and using tools which promote this and the issue of students plagiarizing? And when it comes to assessment how do we ask students to collaborate yet also demand that they not plagiarize?
This post explores these issues and discusses how to "transform cheating into collaboration"? There is also a question that each of us might ask ourselves (and I suspect many of us have): If you can Google an answer is it a good question for an assessment?
