First of All, TECHNOLOGY IS NOT A BABYSITTER! Contrary to what some parents may use it as, in the classroom technology should be worth the students' time and help to master the objective and/or go broader and deeper for those who need it. This Tool on the blog gives a great list of resources for stations and uses for iPods and Netbooks in the classroom. Also, it lists some great Apps that are worth while.
It's important to hold students accountable for what they do while using technology and for their own learning in general! They should WANT to use their time to learn and get better, but how to do that? While thinking and researching for an answer, using a buddy system and/or forms to fill out during or after use will have to do.
