HW 4/11

I looked up Google Sites, Weebly, and Prezi as possible platforms for my presentation. I first looked at Google Sites because I already have a Gmail account and I am too lazy to create another account for another website. The thing about Google Sites however, it is more of just creating a website and I don’t think showing my work on a website is very efficient. The good thing about it is that it is very easy to set up. I then looked up Weebly but found out I would have to create an account and it is basically just a website which I am still not sure if that is the best thing to do for my presentation. I looked at Prezi and found out I can login with my Facebook account which made me very glad. Prezi might be the way to go for me because it is basically an online PowerPoint but it is interactive.

I believe Prezi with be what I use for my presentation because it is interactive, it is not as boring as a PowerPoint, and I can get my information across in a clear and bright way.

HW 4/4

A student copied questions on homeless people off of a website but he did not give credit to anyone because he did not know who to give credit to. Some students have copied information off the internet but did not give credit to anyone because they thought the knowledge was commonsense. A good example of why the students tend to copy and paste without giving credit is because they don’t have the physical article or book in their hands. They assume that because anyone has the rights to it, then there is no need for giving credit. In the video of Obama and Hillary, Obama says that a friend gave him words that he could use in his speech. Obama did not give credit because he said he was told to say it. This goes with the information online. Students who copy only a little don’t think to give credit because it would be silly for something so small.
