The Best Defense is a Good Offense. Keep the Focus on Knowledge Generation and Communication
McAnear, Anita
Learning & Leading with Technology, v32 n7 p4 Apr 2005
Helping students become information seekers, synthesizers, analyzers, evaluators, innovative thinkers, problem solvers, decision makers, producers of knowledge, communicators, and collaborators is one way to create an environment that minimizes cheating, plagiarism, and copyright violations. In such an environment, you may also be able to take advantage of the tools digital natives regularly use, such as instant messaging, chat, and cell phones. As much as possible, eliminate testing of basic facts and skills and focus on helping students find and use the right tool or information source for the task at hand. You may not be able to eliminate high stakes testing, but if the school environment is focused on teaching for understanding, students should do well on any kind of test.
