Classroom Management Guidelines for Using the Internet with students
 * 1) Do not allow any student who does not have an Acceptable Use Agreement on file direct access to the Internet.
 * Direct access means: the child is controlling or viewing a "live" Internet search such that he or she may inadvertently be exposed to inappropriate material.
 * 1) Closely monitor all Internet activity.
 * 2) Periodically check past visited sites. As much as possible, go into //history// and examine the pages students have viewed.
 * 3) Whenever possible, preview all sites for your students.
 * 4) Never post, or allow a student to post, personal information on the Internet.
 * This includes but is not limited to, the student’s last name, address, phone number, or a close-up picture.
 * 1) Consider showing the web site to the whole class with a digital projector.
 * 2) Prepare students for what they will be learning and what will be expected of them.
 * 3) Assign 2 - 4 students as computer monitors to assist students and help with computer operation.
 * 4) Students should not be allowed to wander aimlessly on the Internet, provide an academic purpose before allowing students to go online.

I like the ideas here but I'm not sure how you would implement #8. One possible answer to implementing #8: In an elementary classroom, students often have jobs. One person's job could be to be the computer helper so students know to go to that student for help, especially when the teacher is in guided reading.
