I believe that it is the teachers responsibility to pre-screen everything that will be shown during class. Just searching a topic may end up directing the student to a site they do not need to be on. I know at our school , they have a prety good filtering system that helps curb a lot of the pop-up ads and adult content, but I have been at schools that didn`t have these filters. At one school I visited, the kids all had laptops and when they were in class the teacher could see what they were looking at from his desk. Having this kind of Web-monitoring is a great way to help keep the kids safe.I also think that clear instructions on what to look at and what not to look at helps the kids focus their attention.
