technology offers a variety of rich opportunities available to teachers and students. according to inan and lowther (2010), there are three main purposes to use technology in schools: (a) technology for teachers to prepare instructional activities, plans, materials, and resources; (b) technology for instructional delivery for teachers and students; (c) technology as a learning tool for both teachers and students. although technology provides a number of advantages for teaching and learning, teachers who try to integrate technology in their classrooms have encountered many obstacles that hinder potential benefits of use of technology.

which of the following is true for the student version above?

word-for-word plagiarism

paraphrasing plagiarism

this is not plagiarism

This is not plagiarism

Explanation:

Plagiarism occurs when a writer takes the ideas of some other author and presents them as his own. When this occurs, it can affect the original writer as he loses the chance to earn the credit he deserves. It also makes it difficult for readers to track the origin of the information they are receiving. In this example, however, the author is not committing plagiarism. He is presenting the ideas he took from the source, but is giving the original source credit by mentioning the name of the authors and the year of publication.

question:

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open

answer to question #2: in this text we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations and compares life to a pathless wood.

explanation: the word frost means coldness and something covered by ice crystals but looking at the comparison made in this text, we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations therefore he/she compares life to a pathless wood.
