Using Humor and YouTube to Educate about Plagiarism
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.
