Angela Stafford on 08 Mar 12There is a programme I have heard about called something like 'self-control'. Apparently it allows a student - or their parent - to lock a computer out of a site for a specified period of time, such as 60 minutes, to help the user exercise self-control and get their homework done. Has anyone else heard of this? It would be very welcome in my house!
