Students' Behaviour in Computer Lab

Internet is very wide concerning the content it can display on the screens. As a future teacher, my biggest worry is situated on the kind of websites the kids will go on when I'll have to take them in a computer lab. Whatever the content is pornography, gaming, gambling or illegal download, the aspect we should not forget is that all of them are inappropriate in a classroom environment.

School is an environment where kids are expected to learn, so the content of the visited websites should reflect that idea. However, there are always some possibilities that a kid will not respect those rules, and the way that teachers should deal with it is really important. 

In my mind, no one should be humiliated on the public place. This is why a teacher should not talk in front of the whole class about a bad thing a kid just did. I think that there should be a discrete intervention between the teacher and the student. It should also take place in a discussion format because student will feel less embarrassed.
