Here is my simple explanation of using CheckMyWork:
There should have been something in your orientation that took you through this process. On your Student Homepage (at the top), you should have a Links link that you can select. It will take you to a bunch of different resources CheckMyWork being one of them. Once you select it, you have the option to upload your work document. Once you do that It then checks it against all the websites and student papers submitted to ensure you are submitting original work. It produces a report and tells what percentage of your work matches other work (word for word). It generates a link to that report which link you must copy and paste onto your Works Cited page. If your report shows a high match percentage you will need to make sure it is because you are using quotes not actually copying someone else's words.
Remember, all written work at Connections Academy must be run through CheckMyWork before it is turned in. In World History, this will be used for all portfolios. I will return your portfolio and clear the dropbox if you do not have this link at the end of your portfolio. If you are turning in a PowerPoint, please save it as a PDF, then upload it to CheckMyWork.
