  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!)
I would say speak with your administrator about installing some software. My district has installed software called NetSupport that allows teachers to see what students are doing on their devices from his/her computer. Teachers also have the option to shut the students' devices down if need be.

Comments: My high school had this, and just knowing that the teacher could be looking at anytime scared most students straight. The ones it didn't scare ended up getting caught. It definitely worked!
