This is something I’ve known as a teacher for a long time. If students are not properly supervised, they will not use computers for educational purposes, but use them as time wasters. Computers alone, do not teach students or reach them.

I’ve been adverse to most of the 1-1 and non-teacher directed programs for a long time. AND a lot of teachers are really bad a properly supervising.
You need a program like Lanschool to monitor the students and block sites, and you need a program like Deepfreeze to keep them from putting programs on the computers that you don’t want.
