Hi Michael,With regard to your wondering about how to keep students focused and avoid their inclination to play around while on the computer, I think it is necessary to watch over them, while they are in school, and make sure they're using the blog page instead of surfing around. In addition, one could limit their access to additional programs (games) on the computer, by restricting such areas with password, or taking them off of the computer. As for monitoring at home, the blog itself should take care of that. Students will have to post in their blog and keep it up-to-date to earn their marks. If the work isn't being done, this will surely reflect in the quantity and quality of work that is displayed in their blog. How do these ideas sound as a start?
