[quote=Anonymous]DS is starting middle school DL - it's a big change as he must now juggle 7 demanding classes. He's having trouble keeping up with the work and I don't think learning all that much via DL. THAT SAID, I know by looking at his web history, he's also playing simple online games while in a-sync classes or doing digital puzzles etc during live ones. In other words, he's distracting himself when he's bored or its tough, and instead doing something more fun. I think part of this is the equivalent of scribbling in your notebook during class- but is WAY more distracting. I think he's really missing things in class.

How do I manage this? I can't turn off the internet or even browsing as he does need it for school.  And more importantly, just shutting the options down isn't really teaching him how to manage his time and concentrate on his work. I also don't want to put him in the position of just looking for ways around whatever digital controls I enact.

What has worked for your kid to teach them to stay on task and in class?

Thanks![/quote]
