Exclusive: Get an inside look at how one professor considers difficult  grading situations.

From students, to teachers, presidential candidates to the business world, where have you most recently see examples of plagiarism? What does it mean? Why is it happening? MAYBE technology created the mass problem?

Recently, a superintendent addressed the graduating class of 2008 with a 6-1/2 minute speech meant to motivate them as they go out into the world.

Join Kathy and Paige as they delve deeper into the issue of the right (and wrong) way to use information on the web.

Surprises abound as you listen to these choices!
