Post: Kids vandalizing computer files and keyboards
Posted by: overwhelmed on 10/24/09
I am new to teaching computers. I have a class of 24 8th
graders. 1 of them is a special ed kid who really could
use an aide but doesn't have one. The computers frequently
freeze, in spite of my many work orders.
I'm having a really tough time. The kids have gone into
other kids' files on the shared drive and deleted their
work, pried the keys off the keyboards and put them on
upside down, taken the tracking balls out of the mice...
And I can't watch every kid every minute. It's tough to
accuse someone if you don't see them doing it. I"m not in
that room all the time.
The Teacher Technology Center chatboards are for educators who teach computer classes or educators who have an interest in technology and related areas.
