Turnitin Report Assignment

A plagiarism tool commonly used in the classroom for evaluation of integrated assessments, and designed to meet international and national standards of instruction, is called Turnitin.  This is tool designed to help curb the capability of students to use the work of others as their own. This tool measures the percentage of similarity in the submitted documents, in comparison of other online sources. I have utilized Turnitin to, as a student, recognized that inspiration, creativity, and honesty are demanded of this exercise.  In order to (1) Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity, as an instructor, I would consistently demand usage of this tool.  For fulfillment of standard (2), design and develop digital age learning experiences and assessments, I will incorporate this tool in my classroom to promote experiences and assessments that hold a higher standard of accountability, and thought.  To fulfill (3) Model digital age work and learning, I will ask that students site all works to include an active link to each online source.  To (4) Promote and model digital citizenship and responsibility, I will encourage student copyright of intellectual materials, following Turnitin submission.  Finally, to (5) Engage in professional growth and leadership.  I will encourage adding a relative network contact within each sources body of knowledge.

 

The topic for my report is the Promotion of the Computer Science Industry.  The topic was unexpected, because this assignment required a restriction of source materials.  The topic was very interesting and offered a lot of resources,  I found quickly that there was an abundance of resources and that easily you could be sourcing another type of information that requires a different method of citation.  Another challenge I faced was to, using the varied sources, need to unify a topic that addresses both the questions presented and the focus of the report.  Needing to respond to the Turnitin evaluation I needed find creative ways to restate common terms or combinations of words.  Also I was challenged to creatively adapt and translate the data and data sources into one unified report.  The Turnitin Assignment definitely inspired learning and creativity, provided digital aged learning and experiences, an assessment tool that enhanced the objective impact.  This assignment definitely inspired creative thought based on a modeled assignment.  I was challenged to accept responsibility for assignment comprehension; or risk plagiarism report.  I felt empowered with the instructional resources that were provided in this assignment that will assist in building a network of stakeholders with the same goal of growth and leadership.  I, in a search for excellence will always seek to tie each assignment into each of the five standards, for the purpose of enhanced education, experience, and application.
