  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!)
Computers are a big trust between students and teachers. From the first day you should go over procedures with your students and let them know it is for school use only. These rules and procedures should be placed on the desks of the computers or in sight while using the computers as well as the consequences. No too mention the computers should be facing the public and not against the wall so I can see the screens at any given point and the students will know this.
