Using Humor and YouTube to Educate about Plagiarism
May 12, 2009
Plagiarism or misrepresenting someone else’s work as your own is generally not an amusing topic.
These three YouTube clips demonstrate how using a bit of humor along with a video recording can produce some amusing results that are also educational. Because of plagiarism issues in the online course, I have had to change the instruction on Plagiarism and Academic Integrity.
The first two of these videos will be used in the “Copy and Paste Generation: Promoting Academic Integrity and Preventing Plagiarism” presentation for the Online Teaching Conference at Cabrillo College this June in Aptos.
I included the third one because it was so funny.
Plagiarism – Don’t Do It
The Plagiarism – Don’t Do It video was modeled after identity theft videos.
Plagiarism – Identity Theft Spoof
The Plagiarism – Identity Theft Spoof is another parody of the Idenity Theft Commercials. This was done by the Kealakehe High School. There is an extended version as well.
Before He Cheats – A Teacher Parody
Before He Cheats – A Teacher Parody
A parody of Carrie Underwood’s video “Before He Cheats” from a teacher’s perspective dealing with a cheating student in her school. This Lyrics & Video production comes from Jim McKenzie with music performed by Kristen Huish. You can access the lyrics on the YouTube Site.

I remember that I almost had to repeat a year just because I downloaded one of my writings. It was almost 10 years ago but since then I have written everything by myself.
