It works really well, and I think the kids are more afraid of getting caught now that they know that programs like this exist. I'm sure it is only a matter of time they figure out a new way around this plagiarism checking tool, but for now it works wonders keeping them in line.

Thinking about what I had as a child compared to what my little nephew and niece have in the way of technology baffles me. I couldn't imagine trying to entertain one of them with the simple little toys I used to have so much fun with. Now its iPhone's and 3D televisions. Great post!

Works like a charm. Instant evidence. Also, in schools with student accounts, you can then go to the account (say, if a parent objects) and correlate the plagarism to the exact time. Gotcha again. Then they are forbidden to even look at a computer until the lab boss calms down. that can take months.
