Plagiarism: Copying someone else's work and using for your own.
Being a high school athlete and then a college athlete, plagiarism was a very tempting thing to do. I am not going to lie, it was something that everyone did and it was just a matter of who got away with it and what teachers did not care. The message of do not plagiarize was always enforced, but no matter what people still did it. While attending my first year of college at Flagler College, I saw an incident happen first hand and that was the day that I was no longer tempted to plagiarized. My friend in the class pretty much copied and paste her entire research paper from the internet. The professor knew immediately and he was sure to call the student out in the middle of class. Not only did everyone now know that she had plagiarized, but now the entire class knew she would be making a trip to the dean and would have to fight to stay enrolled in the college. Plagiarism does not seem that big of deal until you are embarrassed and fighting for your college enrollment. I felt awful, ashamed, and guilty all at one time. Plagiarism is something that can also happen on accident. If you cite something wrong or you are unaware on how to give credit properly, you can get in trouble with plagiarism.Most professors and teachers in this situation, give you another shot on fixing your mistake before punishing you. I have had this happen to me as well. You do not get the embarrassment side of the punishment but you do still feel ashamed of yourself.

Cheating: using technology to learn
information without permission.
There are three factors the
contribute to cheating and plagiarism. Access to the internet is one and can be
the best or worst thing for all students. In today's society accessing the
internet is easy to do. Not just on our computer but from your cellphones as
well. Students have access to the internet and apps on their phones. There are
apps out there that will pretty much give you the answer to any math question
you have. This past year at FSW I had another incident with a teammate this
time where she got herself into trouble using the internet. All year long she
would use the internet to help with math homework and when it came time for the
test she would have to cheat because she never learned anything while doing her
homework. Punishments were given and the situation was handled, but she taught
the entire softball team a huge lesson. Cheating may feel like the right choice
at the time, but in the end you are only hurting yourself and limiting yourself
to the knowledge you could be learning.
Cyberbullying: harm through technology.
Growing up in a small town where
everyone knew everyone had its benefits, this just happened to be one.
Cyberbullying was very limited in my town due to the fact that you were not
getting away with it. There was no chance of being anonymous for long. Teachers
were on top of the situations and usually knew all the drama. Cyberbullying can
lead to several things and the worse being suicide. Cyberbullying can be
extremely effective and dangerous. According to Maloy, there are several ways
to stopping cyberbullying and they are; peer mentoring, providing ongoing
support, and participating in "Teen Tech Week." (Maoly. 2013).
