  Case: Ipad reading controversies
As part of a grant your school has given each student an Ipad to use in the classroom, you find that many of your students are reading books using the Amazon Kindle rental program. This is great except some of these books are not quite school appropriate in content. This includes biographies on some big music stars that hold unsavory content, what do you do or not do about this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would give the students reading logs, they will have to fill one out every time they read on the iPad and give a brief summary of what they read. If I notice any students not doing the reading logs I will ask them to show me what they've been reading or if i notice a title that may not be appropriate I will look through the book and decide if it's okay for them to read.

Comments: The students will have already read the inappropriate material by the time the reading logs indicated it.
