Plagiarism 2.0: Information Ethics in the Digital Age
Excellent video for secondary students. Provided me with a solid enough scaffold to build on by connecting to copyright strikes and arguments about intellectual property some teens are familiar with.
The best video on Plagiarism on the internet.
