Introduction

We live in a society which is becoming increasingly dependent on

technology. That being said, it is no surprise that technology has

found its way into the classroom. However, educators who choose

to utilize such technology often suffer from a lack of control over

their students. For example, students may choose to surf websites

such as MySpace or take part in other activities unrelated to

academics. Fortunately, for such teachers NetSupport School Pro

was created
