Thanks K, I'm working on a new display screen for the chatboards, that will better display older posts, and look good on mobile devices. Should have the prototype out for the chat center shortly, then I'll roll it out to the other boards.
Not only were they simply copying, they were doing it poorly. When I’d question their methodology and suggest that they were plagiarizing, they were adamant that they were not plagiarizing because what they wrote did not look exactly the same as the text from which they were copying. Finally, through trial and error, I discovered that if students read a paragraph, then covered it, then stated what they read in one sentence, they could often summarize the paragraph in their own words.
Summarizing allows students to re-frame their understanding by identifying key facts and concepts, filing information away in long-term memory in a more concise way. Much research has been done on the efficacy of summarizing. Marzano, Pickering, and Pollack do an excellent job of compiling and presenting that research in teacher-friendly terms.
Here are four great ways to teach summarizing skills to your students. {Click below for the full article. Our content is always free, but please do support our sponsors.)

I walked the reservoir with a friend. My old district is on spring break so it's nice to see my old friends and hear about what I don't miss. About 9,000 steps for me.
Be friendly. Say hello. Keep your feet moving. Tell the person, "I'm getting in my steps. Join me and we can visit." That's either sending them running or send the message that you are on a walk for exercise. They may think you are just out for a stroll if they have seen you visit with people. :-)
caroltn4Why don't you try wearing earphones or earbuds and listen to music as you walk? Maybe when people see those, they will get the idea that you can't hear them, therefore, you can't stop to talk with them!
Will education be completely online based in the future? MOOCs are moving fast and gaining momentum by the hour. Here’s what you should know about them..
