Good for Google trying to fix a problem they created. I have always been shocked at how easy it is to just grab an image and inset it in your own piece of work. I face this dilemma with my students. We will do media based projects and I am trying to get my grade 8's to understand the importance of referencing sources. During our media book revies where they must present their books through the use of images or video I spend a great deal of time with them trying to show them how to create a bibliography and cite sources. This is so much more difficult with the use of internet source because often the wrong web address will be used or they don't cite at all. Slowly through the year they start to get it. My goal is to prepare them for the things they will see in high school and beyond.
