We have a similar problem in OLPC Australia, and we are planning on using
the backup function of the server to monitor the journals. This way you'll
get an overview of all the users activity. We were planning on either
finding existing efforts or writing some sort of monitoring of the journals
so teachers can keep an eye on the student activities. It turns out it will
also be really useful for monitoring which applications are most popular,
how they are used, etc, etc.

It'll be good to see if others respond, but regardless OLPC Australia would
also like to help with this project.

Cheers,
Pia
