Plagiarism

Even though the concept of plagiarism comes into our library department curriculum in the earliest stages of teaching research skills, the fact remains that we still need to deal with it in a manner that will catch the student's attention. I just ran across a good graphic representation that can be used in educational settings, from Acadia University. The link to it is here: http://library.acadiau.ca/tutorials/plagiarism/

Our district hosted a training session in LibGuides recently, so our librarians and others in neighboring areas could obtain a free year's subscription the the PA LibGuides curation pages for public and school librarians. My cohort librarian and I have made a CASD Faculty LibGuide page at http://palibraries.libguides.com/content.php?pid=270348&sid=2230234, where we organize resources for classes coming to our high school library for library instruction. I am also working on a private LibGuides site to arrange lesson plans for the Technology Integration Into the Classroom course I'll be teaching next semester for Wilson College's M.Ed program, focusing on Web 2.0 tools for education.

Week One, Assignment #1

#1. This is the first of "23 Things" I will be doing on this blog.

I read the information about this program that PSLA had adopted, that was originally set up by the California School Library Association. The PA Web 2.0 Team has set up their assignments as part of this blog: http://paweb20.blogspot.com/
