  Case: Students in question of abusing school technology
Yesterday, while in my ESOL Practicum classroom, the teacher received an email from the school's media specialist that shared a current student misbehavior. At some point that morning, a student used a school Kindle to log-in to Amazon and complete three purchases. He did not say what the items were, just that a student Kindle was being used for a shopping spree. My CT was super nervous because several of her students had been on and off the Kindles that morning. She had no idea to even go about talking to the students about it. If you were in her situation, how would you go about this? What would you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In addition, I would start assigning the students to certain tablets/computers. That way the search/browser history can be tracked and linked to a specific student. The browser history could easily be pulled up and addressed with the student. If the browsing history was cleared, that would be an indication that something was purposefully erased and I would address that with the student.

Comments: I like this solution. Assigning tablets would make it a lot harder for the student to hide what they are doing.
