Minimizing Classroom Disruptions
Computers and the internet have become
welcome instructional tools in most schools, ushering a wealth of
additional resources into today’s classrooms. Unfortunately, they also
bring with them the potential for unwanted distractions—such as online
content that ranges from off-target, to inappropriate, material.
With the generous support of Faronics, a
maker of solutions that help manage, simplify, and secure complex IT
environments, we’ve assembled this collection of stories and columns
from the eSchool News archives to help you leverage technology’s
potential for education, while minimizing classroom disruptions. We hope
you’ll find these resources helpful as you seek an appropriate balance
in your own institutions..

Girls Bullying Girls
http://www.teachersandfamilies.com/open/parent/ra1.cfm?
This article in Parenting Perspectives, in the US online magazine Teachers
First, is an introduction to relational aggression. The term 'relational
aggression' is used to describe a type of bullying primarily used by
pre-adolescent and adolescent girls to victimize other girls - a covert use of
relationships as weapons to inflict emotional pain. Researchers have found that,
contrary to popular belief, girls are not less aggressive than boys, they are
just more subtle or covert in their use of aggression.
