As a school librarian it is a constant struggle to encourage teachers to hold their students accountable for citing their sources. It is more complicated by the blocking of sites at our school. Students can access cites at home that we can not access from our school to check for accuracy or use.

As educators and parents of 21st Century students, it is imperative that we teach students how to credit resources!!!! This a digital native's utmost responsibility and a critical standard of digital literacy. Plagiarism MUST become an archaic practice of the 19th Century!

I teach 3rd grade. Students will cite works by using the title of the book or the Internet url where information was found. This is a good feature to use even at young ages because many students at this age cut and paste the text and feel that they have put down their own ideas. I will definately try to encourage citing all work that is not the students' own original work.

All information not of the author's origin should be cited. Kids think they can just use stuff from the Internet w/o giving credit.

As educators we know we must cite, and teach our kids to do so as well. The Internet makes plagiarism too easy, and even people who should know better (Joe Biden and Steven Ambrose) get caught - or at least people writing for them get caught. There's another level of citing I think is powerful for kids to learn and that's hyperlinking within their own on-line text. One of the greatest benefits of the Internet is being able to read someone else's ideas and then "drill down" to read the source of their information in its original context.

Anything you put in a wiki that is not your own material should be footnoted. That would include phrases or more of text, images, sounds, movies - basically all content you did not create.

Any work or image that is not your work should be cited. We need to make sure that all students understand this in an age or remixing content.

I ask that students cite and give credit to anything they use that is not their original work. I give several personal examples where my work was used without citation, and we use journal writing before we post on our wiki and blog to understand how it feels to be plagarized. We talk about open source and Creative Commons, and about what it means to be ethical.

Any information that is the intellectual property of others should be cited, especially if it isn't in the public domain. Students should be taught to give a full, proper citation as a footnote in their work when they use someone else's work.

I teach media and research skills to students kindergarten through sixth grade. Putting a statement about giving credit to author of a work does not get the job done unless the teachers have taught and insisted on a student providing proper citations. I provide links to the MLA Bibliography page and I also use "citations" to teach how to use various MSWord controls for color and highlighting options.
