On-Sight is an innovative new utility that helps educators keep students safe when they use computers and the Internet during the school day. The new solution monitors and records student online activity and computer use, helping teachers and administrators ensure it conforms to school and district acceptable use policies. The product is developed by GenevaLogic and was unveiled recently at the 2007 National Educational Computing Conference. Custom reports and automatic screen shots give educators the information they need to guide responsible student computer use. Even more, On-Sight helps schools receiving E-rate discounts to comply with the Children's Internet Protection Act's (CIPA) requirement that the online activities of minors be monitored for acceptable use.

    With On-Sight, schools monitor student computer activity across a school or an entire district. On-Sight helps teachers reveal students who are participating in risky computer use, such as cyberbullying or hacking, and intervene before a situation accelerates and becomes dangerous to the student or others.

    Kirk Greiner, chief executive officer, GenevaLogic, stated: "Computers and Internet access open a world of learning opportunities for today's students. However, school administrators need ways to know their students are safe in cyberspace - just like they have ways to ensure student safety on school grounds or at sporting events. On-Sight offers administrators an easy-to-use, reliable way to give students access to these valuable learning tools with the assurance that they are using them safely and appropriately."

    Nancy Willard, executive director of the Center for Safe and Responsible Internet Use, in her book "Cyberbullying and Cyberthreats: Responding to the Challenge of Online Social Aggression, Threats, and Distress," promotes supervising and monitoring student Internet use as key to the deterrence, detection, investigation and response to incidents of cyberbullying and cyberthreats.

    She said: "For years now, I have been telling educators that to ensure that students learn safely in cyberspace, you have to monitor use and not just rely on blocking and filters," said Willard, a former special education teacher and attorney with 12 years of experience working with school districts on Internet safety issues. "Just like you wouldn't send a group of students on a field trip to a big city without adult supervision, you can't allow them to explore cyberspace without the guidance and supervision of adults."
