  • “The over-filtering that occurs today affects not only what teachers can teach but also how they teach,”
  • “creates barriers to learning and acquiring digital literacy skills that are vital for college and career readiness, as well as for full participation in 21st-century society.”
  • “It’s not a magazine, we’re not just consumers, we’re creators, we’re users.”
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • most students have unfettered access to these forbidden sites through the phones in their pockets and backpacks, on their home computers and in many public libraries – often with no adult guidance

  • “It’s not if you have a filter or not, it’s really about to what degree do you filter, how do you filter?”

    Teachers should have the professional courtesy of managing blocked/filtered sites
