All of your responses to this question were helpful for me. I am going to be presenting to a group of administrators on cyberbullying in Southern California in Friday (6 hour workshop). One of the things I will tell them is the importance of ensuring students are using the Internet in school for educationally related activities. You gave me great insight into different strategies for libraries. Thanks. Now, if there are any messages you would wish someone like me to communicate to administrators on your behalf related to this, please do not hesitate to let me know. :-) One recommendation I make on monitoring is the "variable negative reinforcement" approach of periodically asking students to show you their history file. No warning. The request could come at any time. And you all probably know which students to ask more often or what body language to watch out for. When I was a special ed teacher (emotionally disturbed) I used a "variable or timed positive reinforcement" approach." The timed approach is one I would specifically pull out when the class was getting unruly. I would watch the clock (to keep myself on track and try to remain calm) and every 3 minutes or so I would find one child doing something right and comment positively on this.
