Reflection:
Last week we done assignment number eight that dealt with plagerism. Plagerism is something that many students and teachers will encounter. The activity, I believe goes under this category with letter A. By showing students this program it teaches them the legal and ethical practice related to the technology use. I really enjoyed this activity because I did not realize that there was a program out there that was used to catch plagerism in reports. It would be very useful for teachers to use this in their classroom. It would cut down on students who plagerize their reports.

Future Learning Goals:
I hope to learn more and explore this program more. I plan to use this program in my classroom and I plan to teach my students how to use it. Some students may not exactly understand how to paraphrase and put things into their own words and this program would help them to see whether they are doing that or not. I believe that students learning the correct way to use technology is very important and is something that they should be taught in the classroom.
