  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!)
maybe introduce a "stop. drop. and turn." policy where students have to stop what they are doing periodically and turn their screens towards you. Or, call out names of students. The ones that are doing something they are not supposed to usually do not pay attention. Also, don't forget to implement proximity control--check those tabs.
