SIMULATION STORYBOARD

OVERVIEW
1)Workshop What is digital plagiarism? And why should I care?
simulation title

2)Field and/or K12 Library Media. Primarily HS. The focus of the workshop will be for
discipline: freshman high school students and part of the library media center
orientation process at the beginning of their research journey.(Early is
school year/August-Sept.)
3)Topic of Define what digital plagiarism is and how to avoid it. Students will learn
simulation what the expectations are and resources that may be consulted to help
them be successful and responsible learners.
4)Environment This simulation will be a part of the Library Media Center Orientation
and associated primarily with English Language Arts (ELA) classes. In the
characters of orientation they will learn about the different resources student have
simulation available online/print and how to be a responsible user by properly
citing sources. Opening will be a teacher/librarian who gives a clear
definition of digital plagiarism. Next students will be presented with
several different scenarios where they will be given choices and will
need to attempt the correct answer. There will be a variety of student
characters or icons used in this simulation.
5)Short Teacher/Librarian will open with a definition of plagiarism and some
summary of the statistics for misuse and cheating. The Teacher/Librarian will give some
simulation scenarios with appropriate and inappropriate responses.
6)Target The target audience for this project will be freshman level students,
audience Age 14-15 years. They are transitioning from the middle school to the
high school. Currently in our schools students have limited access to
the library media center in the middle grades so, they are not familiar
with online databases.
7)Big idea The big idea for this presentation is for students to have a clearer
for participants understanding of what digital plagiarism in school is and how to avoid
upon it. Students should have a better idea of how to paraphrase content,
completion how to properly cite resources, that copy and paste is not an
acceptable behavior that will have a consequence.
8)SMART At the end of this simulation students will be able to:
learning objectives  Define digital plagiarism and understand the consequences of
academic dishonesty in the school.
 Distinguish the elements needed to properly cite a resource
used in a project.
 Complete the assessment at the end of the presentation with a
score of 4 out of 5 (80%).

SIMULATION STORYBOARD

SCENE 1: Introduction

Slide #1 VISUAL: Library background with Teacher/Librarian.

INTERACTION: This slide is an introduction to the IMC and that the

simulation will be addressing the topic of digital plagiarism and why it is
important to them as a student.

AUDIO NARRATION SCRIPT: Welcome to the Instructional Materials Center

or the IMC. The goal of this simulation is to help give you a clearer
understanding of what digital plagiarism is, how to avoid plagiarism and tools
to assist you in becoming a successful student today and into the future.

SLIDE TEXT: What is digital plagiarism and why should I care?

BRANCHING: no branching on this slide. Introduction only.

RESOLUTION: proceed to next slide- NONE

Slide #2 VISUAL: Image of a masked figure at computer, painting/poster/photo on

wall with masked figure taking a picture, another person on cell phone with
ear buds in wearing a mask.

INTERACTION: roll over different parts of the screen to reveal how people
can plagiarize. Copy and paste from computer/document on computer,
Images/photos, or speech/sound recording.

AUDIO NARRATION SCRIPT- In the simplest form, digital plagiarism is

stealing. If you are going to copy & paste someone else’s work in a project or
assignment- that is written, a photo or drawing, or speech- then claim it as
your own work- you are plagiarizing. In a 2009 report Common Sense Media
poll results revealed that 35% of teens say they have cheated using cell
phones or the internet in some form or another- turning it in work as their
own. This is digital plagiarism. It is wrong and unacceptable behavior.

SLIDE TEXT: If it’s not yours, you need to give credit to the author.

BRANCHING: Roll over characters to reveal statement- computer- copy and

pasting is digital plagiarism, taking photo of painting- taking a photo without
permission and reposting without credit- is digital plagiarism, listening to

device- using words from speech or music without permission or credit is
digital plagiarism.

RESOLUTION: Building awareness of all types of plagiarism. NONE

Slide #3 VISUAL: Copy of Slide 2 with RED WARNING stamp over

COPYRIGHT is the law. Stealing then distributing is a different matter than
digital plagiarism. Plagiarism does have ethical consequences but not
necessarily legal action.

SLIDE TEXT: LAW v. ETHICS

BRANCHING: Pop up statement explanation of copyright vs. plagiarism.

This may need to be another slide?
RESOLUTION: Clarifying the importance of awareness on digital plagiarism
and the difference of copyright violation.

Slide #4 VISUAL: Computer screen fills the left side of image divided into 4 terms:
paraphrase, plagiarize, research and citation. Definitions from Merriam-
Webster in boxes with different definitions are on the right to be placed in
the proper section of the computer screen. Drag-n-drop

INTERACTION: Students will drag and drop the definition to the appropriate
term. If appropriate term is selected a correct box with green check mark will
pop up. If the wrong term is dropped a red box with SORRY try again will pop
up.

AUDIO NARRATION SCRIPT: As a student completing projects and using

online resources it is important to know what you can do and should do. The
act of “copy & pasting” is cheating or academic dishonesty and it will hurt
your success as a student. Learning how to create assignments in the proper
order and giving credit to the author’s work you are using is the way to avoid
digital plagiarism.

another form, to put in one’s own words
