TECH TIP: Turnitin now available on Canvas for your assignments
Turnitin is a software that will run similarity reports on student assignment submissions. The library has had a subscription for several years. Now, it is available as an embedded app within Canvas. The first time you do this, I would be happy to set this up with you. It was also helpful for me to go into the class and work directly with the students the first time they submitted an assignment using this tool. I'd love to work with you on this for any of your classes.
You can set it up for any of your assignments using the External Tool submission type.
Then, scroll down to find the Turnitin app and hit Select:
Once you have saved the assignment, you can load the Turnitin tool and set up additional settings:
If you'd like more information, here are complete instructions.
BOOK TIP: HIdden Valley Road by Robert Kolker
I like to listen to non-ficiton audiobooks on my walks and runs. Hidden Valley Road by Robert Kolker was one of those books that made me walk further because I wanted to hear more! It is the story of the Galvins, a family of 12 children, all coming of age in the 1950's and 60's. Of these 12 children, six of them developed schizophrenia. It is a remarkable story of this family and the impact the disease had on all of them. The author also interweaves the history of schizophrenia and its treatment and how this family became an important part of research into the origins of schizophrenia. It was fascinating.
