Teacher lead Digital Camera

I taught students who visit the library how to create their own accounts using Turnitin.com in response to an IB  student's  request.  Some on the IB students wanted to check their work to make sure they could not be accused of plagiarism. I create an account where students could upload their work and see the report highlighting any sections of their paper with questionable text.  I created 10 assignments for them.  Over 20 students have uploaded their papers to Turnitin.com.  They edited their papers as a result and added quotations marks if needed.  Once I figure out how to upload my Photo Story to the Internet, I can see many benefits from using this software.
