  Case: Computer Misuse
I am fortunate to have computers at each of the lab stations in the back of my science classroom, so I often have students use the machines to collect, graph, and analyze data. When straightening up the lab area at the end of the day, I noticed some eye-catching graphics on one of the computer screens, and used the history function on the computer's internet browser to confirm that the computer has been used to visit inappropriate websites.What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Since you have no proof as to whom exactly went on these websites, you will just have to change your approach to monitoring students computer use in the future. One suggestion is that you can keep a sign-in sheet for each computer, so you can keep track of who has used the computer. Since you are changing up your approach you can give a students a reminder as to what the rules of using the computer are when introducing the new approach.
