MY HONOR PLEDGE
I pledge to be honest in my academic career and to never plagiarise, steal or copy someone  else’s work. I will not participate in academic dishonesty (as in cheating in a test) or personal dishonesty (allowing someone to cheat off of me). I  feel that it is my responsibility as a high school student to work with integrity and to be sure I’m putting information I find into my own words.




Definition of Terms as used in this pledge:
Academic Dishonesty:  lying or cheating to make an assignment easier/copying someone else’s work.


Personal Dishonesty: lying or copying someone else’s work to help myself achieve a higher grade or to reach my goals.

Responsibility: defining myself as a student (i want to achieve good grades on my own).

Absent student-
    Today in Res&Tech we learned about different search engines and features. Goorulearning only shows wikipedia pages. Google typically seems to be the best search engine because of all of the results. Bing and Google are basically the same thing. Google Books is not as helpful for finding answers about books. Instagrok picks out terms and puts the topic in context. This can sometimes be helpful. Also, Sweet search is supposedly a good resource but the servers were down which didn't give us the chance to test it. All in all, I would say that google is the most dependent resource.

Google A Day Search


I originally typed into the search bar "dinner honoring Suzanne Mubarak psychopath" and this was the first link that popped up when i hit search. I chose these terms because they're the core of the question. I learned that after the question's been up for a while people ask the exact question in order to help other's find it more easily. Though it defeats the purpose of Google A Day, it does help find the answer!
