In brief they have increasing level of consequences for each report to IT of inapprpriate computer use. First offence is their account locked and a letter home to parents. When the parent signs the account is unlocked.<BR/><BR/>Once the students realised I had switched to a no tolerance approach their whole attitude changed. Now I have been using blogs and wikis and even teaching gamemaker and scratch with great success and wonder why I didn't do it sooner. You would have to find out the policy of the schools you teach in and maybe suggest a tougher approach if they don't use one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818468092613831527noreply@blogger.com
