We're considering using TurnItIn.com for our district in the coming years as part of our new graduation project. I agree also agree with Matt205 in the above comment but would like to point out that the students in this article did learn about our legal system including the concepts of copyright in the process. In short, in spite of the fact that they were trying to subvert the system the system actually created a situation where they were motivated to learn something. Now that's irony.

I think that technology like this is a good thing because it takes away opprotunities to cheat, thereby creating more actual learning. As for the students fighting using this technology I think it is jsut dumb teenagers being dumb teenagers. I like this because it is a differant type of educational technology designed soley to make the teacher's life easier. This is interesting.
