This website is an ultimate cheat guide for kids that don't want to read. I really don't have a problem with this site, but I dislike that the kids will go here instead of reading the material. I like to read what Spark Notes has to offer before developing my quizzes and activities.

This site is a great place to pick up a Trojan virus, just what you've always wanted! The kids love to try to go here during the school day and have tons of proxies to get around our network filters. Some kids can stir up quite a bit of controversy here, too. Too bad I can see everything they are doing and take screenshots of it.

This software is used in my system, and while its intent is wonderful, in reality the software has a lot of glitches in it. The software is intended to provide personal learning environments/individualized, computer-based instruction, but the kids just spend a lot of time telling you the software locked them out.
