Digital+Cheating

http://ww2.coastal.edu/jwinslow/tech/files/readings/digitalcheating.pdf --This website talks about how the internet is growing. Children use the internet and technology to cheat, and when caught two-third of them will admit they did it because they witness another student doing it. Website also talks about how digital plagiarism is increasing since there is not much punishment for it. (Alex)

http://www.edutopia.org/technology-student-cheating-prevention -- This website has that youtube video about how to replace the ingredients list on the coke bottle with notes. I think this might be interesting to show different ways students cheat.--Katie. --I have never heard of that; pretty creative. I think this would be a good thing to use during the skit to see if the class picks up on it. (Alex) here's that video.. --Alyssa media type="youtube" key="WHWbYISRL5Q" height="390" width="480"

--This website is kind of like a powerpoint. It has slideshows explaining digital cheating, what it is, and gives some statistics. It has a great deal of information and I think it'd be a great source to use! -Alyssa --If you watch the "Digital Cheating" video in the powerpoint, it shows many different ways of cheating. The video also explains how these cheating videos are allow to be on Youtube because of Youtube "guidelines." (Alex)

Common sense media is a website that advocates for children using media responsibly. They have a pretty good article about digital cheating. http://www.commonsensemedia.org/cheating-goes-hi-tech Should we outline our lesson plan on the wiki? I was brainstorming about the 15 minute presentation and thought that we should talk about plagiarism and cheating on tests Josh --Josh, I agree. We sort of discussed this in class a little bit. I think a skit would be a perfect way to introduce the topic to show what digital cheating is and how it is done. --Alyssa -- Maybe after we could do the skit we could have the class pick out all of the ways they saw cheating throughout the skit, that way it's kind of interactive for the class & gets them thinking.-- Katie.

I was thinking, would sparknotes be considered digital cheating? [] This website explains what digital cheating is, why it matters to students, facts about it, and what parents can do to prevent it. It's just another source. Alex

--I think that sparknotes could be considered digital cheating, it's cheating your way out of reading the whole book. --Katie. --I liked your webpage Alex. About spark notes being digital cheating; I think you could call it digital cheating, however I think it is also common knowledge. Spark notes have been used for a long time. --Josh

4/26/11 Intro-skit different ways of cheating Think pair share Coke bottle, texting, picture of test, looking up answers on internet Body' Cheating with smart phone on the internet- Alyssa Cheating with out having to go online with a phone- Katie Why students cheat, why we shouldn't let students cheat -Alex How to Prevent digital cheating- Josh Other things we are using quiz for the skit the coke bottle cheating label.

Here's an outline of my part of the speech- Josh How to stop digital cheating 1. create a meaningful lesson 2. create a lesson of appropriate difficulty 3. Tell your students that cheating is wrong -put some teeth behind the no cheating rules 4.try to assess mastery, don't use paper and pencil tests when you don't have to When you have to use paper and pencil tests... 1. make your own test, make it hard to cheat on 2. monitor your students, Don't leave the room 3. have the students place all of their belongings against the wall, no hoodies

__Why students cheat?__ - "I need to excel no matter what!"
 * Performance concerns**

- Academic //*work overload// // *professor/text did not adequately explain material // // *too many test on one day or week // - Nonacademic // *pressure from parents // // *job leaves no time for studying // // *illness prevents adequate preparation // // *GPA- athletes, financial aid, student in general //
 * External pressures**

- Overly harsh grading - Unfair tests- "I feel like the professor just wants us to fail!" - Unreasonable workload
 * Unfair professors**

- Did not attend class - Did not study, read, or homework
 * Lack of effort**

- Helping a friend - Loyalty to a group
 * Adherence to other loyalties**

- Unexpected opportunity arose - Instructor left room during exam - Instructor wasn't watching carefully - Other students didn't cover their paper
 * Opportunity**

- Others do it - No one ever really gets punished/caught
 * Campus ethos**

[] - here's the website that I grabbed the information from (Alex)

__Why shouldn't students cheat?__ -Students will never actually learn the information if they cheat -Students will constantly wonder/worry whether another student noticed them cheating (there is always one person who will not like a student cheating when they spent all night studying) -Do not want to get caught and be a disappointment for your parents and teacher

--That is all I could think of and find. If there are anymore that you can think of then let me know or just feel free to write it in. (Alex)

-Common Sense Media Poll: "65% of the kids polled said that they had heard and seen other kids using their smartphone to get answers for their exams"

-more than 1/3 of the students that took this same poll admitted to using a smartphone for this same purpose.

-this is easy to do because it is difficult to track and completely anonymous.

-half of the students who were polled really didn't think that cheating with the smartphone was serious.

-they can also store notes in their phone because smartphones hold a large amount of memory

- Student's record themselves reading notes/answers, while taking test you can listen to notes/answers by covering ear buds. - According to Educational CyberPlayGround (2007), students can use crib notes from Spark notes on their iPod and iPod dictionaries to give themselves unfair advantages over others. //http://www.goodreadspot.com/6101%20artifacts/Seminar_A_ECOMP%206101.pdf//
 * Digital Cheating Using IPODS & Other Devices (Katie)**

-Student's use their Graphic Calculator to store notes. //http://www.wikihow.com/Cheat-On-Exams-Using-a-Ti-86-Calculator//

- Student's also use SPY Bluetooth Watch. A small earbud goes into the ear and you can call a friend to get answers during a test. //http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WZKKqTV5jQ//
