[LM_NET] Target: Paperless Research

[Mary Willen <marywillen@THESTJOHNSCHOOL.ORG>]

Hi everyone,
I thought if this has been done anywhere it was done here! Has anyone taught a 
research class to middle school students where there is no paper used? It is all 
done on the computer. Students cut and paste cites from the Internet, hi-lite their 
information, write outlines and then complete their paper all on the computer. Is 
this an effective way to teach these skills? Does the risk of plagerism increase? I 
would love to hear from anyone who has tried it. If there is any interest I will 
post a hit.
Thanks,
Mary Willen
