What is Plagiarism?

As part of a workshop series, "Digital Storytelling to Digital Instruction," I created a short script about plagiarism that any participant could use to practice storyboarding, gathering multimedia, and assembling a video.
The bonus is that I finally got around to creating a plagiarism video that I can have my students use, along with other precursor activities, before starting their semester writing projects!

But isn't it that this presentation is also plagiarism
since you merely summarized or paraphrased other
presentations on plagiarism? Note that plagiarism
includes "slightly rewriting and re-arranging the words that
you have read or heard from others?" So this could also
include slightly re-arranging someone else's presentation?
Plagiarism is so confusing.
Crazy.

Good clear video. I wouldn't call plagiarism theft, but would consider it fraud. Theft implies taking something from someone, however you can not take words. You can take a book of course, for if you you take the book the original owner can no longer use that book. However, you can not take words or ideas, because you can use the same words and ideas as somebody else but you don't strip them of their ability to use the words too. There is a difference between stealing somebody's essay and copying an essay. With stealing the essay, you take the printed and stapled copy from a student and turn it in: bad. With copying, you see the other student's essay, type the words out print it and staple it yourself and both can turn it in. Plagiarism is not theft, it is fraud, maybe a minor distinction, but important when considering larger moral implications.

I think it's wrong to focus on this as primarily an issue of intellectual property. Yes, that matters, but if I were to write something specifically for someone else to turn it in, it would still be plagiarism. The fundamental issue is academic dishonesty--passing off someone else's work (even if freely given) as one's one.
