    With the opening of the Beijing Olympic Games a mere 10 days away, members of the media have learned that there is at least one thing they can expect not to be open: the Internet. Despite earlier assurances that journalists would have unfettered access to the Internet at the Main Press Center and athletic venues, organizers are now backtracking, meaning that the some 5,000 reporters working in Beijing during the next several weeks won't have access to a multitude of sites such as Amnesty International or any site with Tibet in the address, according to an Associated Press report.

    Thought-provoking article by Scott McLeod. If a district has decided to figure out ways to facilitate technology usage and empower students and staff, the policies will follow accordingly.

    Digital Attack Map One of the easiest ways to silence someone online is a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS). But it's difficult to solve a problem you can't see. Digital Attack Map visualizes the most powerful DDoS attacks happening in the world right now, using data from our partner Arbor Networks. DDoS attacks sometimes relate directly to events in the real world such as conflicts or political disputes. A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. They target a wide variety of important resources, from banks to news websites, and present a major challenge to making sure people can publish and access important information.

    Most of the world lives in countries that censor the internet. uProxy, seeded by Jigsaw and owned by the University of Washington, provides people access to the free and open internet by letting anyone who lives in a repressive society share the connection of someone who lives in a country with open internet access. uProxy works on an internet browser, with the option to set up a cloud server to provide constant access to the open internet. Perspective is an API that uses machine learning to spot abuse and harassment online.
