You know that my blog content was scraped…Today I’m over on DC Metro Moms writing about the irony of the situation:
“Plagiarism is never ok. It is never ok to take someone else’s work and write their exact words down on your paper. That is stealing.”
Over the past week I found myself saying repeating those sentences over and over again as I conducted computer orientation to each class of 3-5th grade students in our school and went over the county’s rules and regulations for computer use. Orientation is required for every class and a prerequisite for getting their logins and passwords to use the school computers and certainly before they begin to word process, use interactive games to practice skills, and before using online resources for research.
The irony of the situation was that while I was telling my students that it was never ok to copy what they read in World Book, Encyclopedia Britannica, or any of the other online resources we use, my own work on my blog was being stolen and reposted on another blog.
To read the rest of my post, click over to DC Metro Moms and have a great weekend!

Sorry to hear you had to deal with that! Plagiarism is ever easier in the digital age. Seems as though many don’t see it for what it is (stealing). It is commonplace to “steal” on the Internet! Music, movies, words, etc.
