  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 put parental settings on the students' Ipads with a password so they can not be changed. This should prevent the students from downloading anything above their age level. If the students are still reading things that are inappropriate then there should be more of an effort to have material blocked.
