= **Video Copyright:**  = === A high school history teacher is teaching a Unit on different social classes in Middle English Times. This history teacher has so many notes for the kids to take that they have a hard time keeping up with them. He knows that he is going to have to be gone right about the time they will be finishing up this unit. He feels that the students have been working really hard and decides that he is going to reward them after the take their test. He tells the students that he will show, // A Knight’s Tale // when they finish this unit and that they can bring snacks during the viewing days. ===

=== As the librarian it is my responsibility to softly remind this Mr. M. that showing copyrighted movies in class is against district policy. However I would be more than happy to help him find something on Discovery Education with their online Streaming that would be a great way to help the kids understand this concept. I also offer to look on other sites that the school pays to belong to in order to help him, such as books presented in a movie format on Edudemic and TumbleBooks. I also tell Mr. M. that I could possibly look on You Tube for something as well. ===

= **Digital Plagiarism:**   = === The English I class has been working on their Poetry Unit. They are given an assignment to pick their favorite Poet and do a Glogster presentation on them. The teacher reminds them that they have their pocket style handbook on how to do research and the question guide to follow. The students sign up for the poet that they choose and then go to the library to start researching. ===

=== The students all come to the library to start their research on their poet. Bobby is working hard, as the librarian I walk over and ask him how he is doing. I notice he already has several pieces of information in his Glogster, I ask where his works cited information is going to go. He explains that he isn’t sure how to do that the pocket manual confuses him. I ask him to open another web page and show him the citation machine website. I show him how to fill in the blanks and then it gives him a bibliography citation and all he has to do is copy and paste it into his Glog. ===
