Turn it In!
Goochland High School subscribes to a service called Turn it In.com, which allows teachers to provide students with an online space for turning in papers. Papers can be turned in via a variety of formats, from plain text, Word files, or even PDF. It also provides teachers plagiarism checkers and a way to grade and mark-up papers all online.
To get started, check out their user guides for teachers and students. Also of interest will be the videos that cover this new and improved version. Please take a look even if you’ve used Turnitin in the past.
Your contact person for using Turn-it-in is Mrs. Bea Cantor. Please contact her if you’d like to get set up with using Turn-it-in with your students or need support.

Is this the software that automatically adds student’s work to the company’s plagiarism detection database, drawing financial benefit from it without student and parent consent?

Yes, it’s “that” software. Our teachers ask for it, year after year. Every convenience cuts corners somewhere. I think if I were teaching a lot of these types of classes, I might do something different. But if you’re practicing in high school for something you’ll need to do better at in college… I’m not sure they’re aren’t using similar tools.
