Teachers! YES!

Google Classroom has a feature called "originality reports" that checks student work for un-cited passages.

This feature only works with Google Docs....but that is about to change!

Based on Google's upcoming release database, originality reports will also work with Google Slides!

This feature is under active development, but a release date has not been listed.
