National Poll Reveals Students` Attitudes Toward Hi-Tech Cheating and HighlightsNeed for Parents and Educators to Set Guidelines and Address ConsequencesSAN FRANCISCO–(Business Wire)–Common Sense Media today released the results of a national poll on the use ofdigital media for cheating in school. The poll, conducted by The BenensonStrategy Group, revealed that more than 35% of teens admit to cheating with cellphones, and more than half admit to using the Internet to cheat. Moreimportantly, many students don`t consider their actions to be cheating at all.The results highlight a real need for parents, educators, and leaders to start anational discussion on digital ethics. “The results of this poll should be a wake-up call for educators and parents,”said James Steyer, CEO and founder of Common Sense Media.

“Cell phones and theInternet have been a real game-changer for education and have opened up manyavenues for collaboration, creation, and communication. But as this poll shows,the unintended consequence of these versatile technologies is that they`ve madecheating easier. The call to action is clear: Parents and educators have to beaware of how kids are using technology to cheat and then help our kidsunderstand that the consequences for online cheating are just as serious asoffline cheating.” Kids have always found ways to cheat, but the tools they have today are morepowerful than ever. In this poll, kids reveal that they’re texting each otheranswers during tests, using notes and information stored on their cell phonesduring tests, and downloading papers from the Internet to turn in as their ownwork.

Because the digital world is distant, hard to track, and mostly anonymous,kids are less likely to see the consequences of their online actions, especiallywhen they feel they won`t get caught. Common Sense Media is asking parents and educators to step in to help kidsdevelop a set of guidelines to follow in the digital world and to understandthat the rules of right and wrong in their offline lives also apply in theironline lives. For parents, it`s important to understand and embrace the mediatheir kids are using and have a frank discussion about cheating and itsimplications. Educators need to be hyper aware of the amount of hi-tech cheatinghappening in their schools, talk to students about it, and establish rules andconsequences for the classroom that reflect the reality of our kids` 24/7 mediaworld. Other key findings from the poll include:* 41% of teens say that storing notes on a cell phone to access during a test isa serious cheating offense, while 23% don`t think it`s cheating at all. * 45% of teens say that texting friends about answers during tests is a seriouscheating offense, while 20% say it`s not cheating at all. * 76% of parents say that cell phone cheating happens at their teens` schools,but only 3% believe their own teen has ever used a cell phone to cheat.
