Another 2 cents

So this week, David discussed a school in Canada, that is experimenting with adding a school wide wi-fi system. The only problem with this, is how do teachers/administrators monitor what the children are viewing and if they access inappropriate material, is the school responsible for any harm or harassment that is a potential result of inappropriate sites. I think that computers in the classroom can be beneficial, but only if it they are needed for research or an assignment. Simply having a computer in class is NOT appropriate, because, let's be honest, how many college students who bring their laptops are actually focused on what the professor is saying the whole time? If adult students have a difficult time staying on task, how much more difficult will it be for an impulsive high school or younger student to use the technology appropriately.
As for liability, I think that the administrators should have the ability to block obscene or social networking sites that should not be accessed during school hours. This made me think of the schools creating an intranet, which can be accessed only by those with a code/ID and then the sights can be monitored and the children's safety and security protected. Overall, I like the idea, there are just several kinks that need to be worked out.
