» OP Papers: Writing Papers the Smart Way – StudentBS
Written by Tara Engel of OPPapers, here is her take on how such a website can be used in a positive way for learning. Of course, this assumes that schools have plagiarism checks in place and most of them I know of do not.

Free Term Papers, Research Papers, Coursework, Book Reports | OPPapers.com
Be aware. Free and premium essays, term papers and book reports are available. I received a letter from someone representing this company who said it wasn’t plagiarism, however, let me point out. If you’re not using something such as turnitin.com – you’re just asking for kids to use this sort of website. Share this and discuss it.
How can we ensure students are doing their own work? Often, the oral quiz and project based learning are great ways — certainly not just paper writing but multiple modalities of assessment are essential!

Just in my inbox. This is a cool website with tons of streaming educational videos organized by subject and grade level.
From the founders:
“a free
library of educational, documentary films accessible 24/7 and completely
free to stream. We have recently added around 100 new films to our library,
each including learning comprehension questions”

Vicki Davis

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki
