Helping Students Become Better Writers

Google has rolled out its new Originality report.  It is designed to find instances

where the student's writing matches online sources. Students can then edit their

work (either providing the correct situation and re-working their text for a better

paraphrase) prior to submission.  The short EDU video covers the highlights.

Originality reports are activated when a teacher creates an assignment. 
Please note you can only have 3 assignments (per class) use this feature. 
For additional details, please see the Google information here.

I tried it with a test document and it did highlight a few sentences
(on the right side of the screen you can see the websites).  It does allow the
student to edit prior to submission.

Currently, it will not check documents against other students' work.
