Nothing motivated me to learn about computers more than bypassing policy restrictions and web filters at school. I wound up becoming our student admin, starting computer clubs, and even changed my mind about the school and degree I had planned for college.
Also, It sounds like the kids have managed to configure the devices the way they should have been configured in the first place. If my HS had handed me a device for tracking my whereabouts and logging my web activity, I would have handed it right back. Surely they have internet filters on the school's WiFi, so this software is meant to stop kids from using Facebook on their own time. Oh, and don't forget that the school's essentially sticking a GPS tracker on your kids, because apparently that's acceptable nowadays.
I still think schools handing out tablets is a stupid idea (esp anything that starts with "i"), but I'm glad the kids are finding a way to use them.
