With your writing online and digitized, it is so easy to spot work that has been copy and pasted from some other place.

Don’t do it! Even if you change a few words here and there it is still plagiarism.

If you find a story that interests you, feel free to post it. Read the article, summarize it in your own words and provide a link back to the source.

If there is a quote that you want to share, use the “Blockquote” button to show readers that you didn’t write it.

Look at this example post to see how to quote properly.

If you’re not sure what to write about, take a look at the example outline in the Blogging details and instructions page or talk to me outside of class. I’d be glad to help you get started.
