Another Tool in the Toolbox
The high school has bought us all subscriptions to Turnitin.com, so let’s experiment with it as a tool in our makerspace. Read on for a quick overview and the directions you’ll need to register for your class.
The original purpose of Turnitin.com was to check against plagiarism, which it still does better than any other site. The full suite of features is here: Turnitin for Secondary Education.
We’ll test some of these when/if you are asked to submit a writing response to Turnitin. The peer review options are especially interesting, although they may be redundant with Google Docs.
Regardless, you need an account to get started. Follow these instructions:
- Visit the website: www.turnitin.com.
- If you have an account, enter the login information, click “enroll in a class” and enter the Class ID and enrollment key. (If you have an account but have forgotten your password, click “Forgot your password?” and follow the instructions.)
- If you do not have an account, click on the “Create Account” tab in the upper right corner.
- Click on “Student” at the bottom of the page.
- Enter the Class ID and Class enrollment key.
- Enter your first and last name.
- Choose the first option for how your name will be displayed.
- Enter your BHS email address and confirm it.
- Create a 6-12 character password and confirm it.
- Choose and answer a secret question.
- Click the “I’m not a robot” box and click “I Agree — Create Profile.”
The Class ID for each section will be distributed through Google Classroom. The enrollment key is always the same: tardigrade.
