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!) Talk with the person in charge of technology at your school about programs that allow you (the teacher) to see on your computer the screen of each student. The media center at my school uses this, so though I cannot see every computer at once if I am walking around, I can see from the main monitor what each student is doing. This same technology is used at my nieces' school where each student has school-issued laptops. When they get into the classroom, they are required to login to the teacher's class, and the teacher can view all screens all the time.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: My high school did the same thing. I think it is very good solution. You can easily monitor them, and when the students know this they will be less likely to get on sites they should not be on.
