Today’s tip: Check History in Your Browser
Category: Internet
Q: How do I see where my kids/students have gone online?
A: Go to what’s called ‘history’–a list of all the websites whoever logged in under a particular user name went. Here’s how you do it:
- In Firefox, Chrome, or IE, hold the Control key (Ctrl) and push H. That brings up a list of the sites visited by that profile.
- Select the time frame you’re interested in
- Chrome also lets you search other devices logged into Chrome.
If you find they went somewhere they shouldn’t, don’t over-react. Sometimes it happens by accident. Ask them about it. Watch their answer. Their body language will tell you as much as their words. You know your students. You’ll know if they are telling the truth.
