  Case: The trouble with technology
iPads have recently been issued to all 8th graders in the county. As is typical of any middle schooler some of the students have found their way around the firewalls and are facebooking during class. They have learned to watch where you are in the classroom and although you have never actually "caught" them you know what they are doing. How do you deal with this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is definitely a tough one. I would try to strengthen the firewalls and settings on the iPads. I would be up front daily and remind them they shouldn't be on Facebook or any other sites they shouldn't be on and create a positive reinforcement plan for those who do what they're supposed to. I would change the tasks on the iPads to be more involved so students don't have as much time to get on Facebook as well.
