Greetings, Earthlings


Yes, here we are, in the computer lab, looking at our blog. Send me an email from your active email account, and I'll send you an invitation so you can post to this blog: afletcher@busd.k12.ca.us Do that right now, so I can work on that while you work on your tutorial.

Here is where I want you to begin. This is going to take some time, but I expect you to print out the certificate indicating you have successfully completed this tutorial by November 9th -- end of first quarter.

The tutorial -- created at Indiana University in Bloomington -- is entitled How to Recognize Plagiarism.

This tutorial does not teach citation methods or style; we'll cover that in detail later, but if you are anxious, I will post a list of style guides that are excellent. In fact, you can ask Santa to bring you one this year. But for now, let's start on learning how to recognize and avoid plagiarism by clicking on the link above.
