  • What technology has done is taken the social consequences and amplified them beyond the capacity of many of our students to comprehend.  It’s taken what historically has been pretty low price tag infractions and inflated them at a rate many of us are unprepared to deal with.

cipa filtering

shared by Steve Ransom on 03 Jul 14 - No Cached
  • “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 has to be learned in context in a supportive environment,”
  • (a) obscene; (b) child pornography; or (c) harmful to minors.”
  • defining the three measures is up to each community, creating widely varied implementation from district to district
  • and their answer to any requests was usually no.
  • Their view was that if the filter is blocking it, there’s no reason for you to see it,”
  • Krull implemented a teacher login system that lets staff override some blocked sites. He’s working on a similar system for students that would grant varying degrees of access depending on grade level.
  • nearly three times as many teachers of low-income students than those with middle- and high-income students said this lack of access was a “major challenge” in their ability “to incorporate more digital tools into their teaching.”
  • eliminating filters isn’t the answer to debugging the problems with CIPA.
  • There’s not a right or wrong; it’s a lot about community values
  • “It’s not if you have a filter or not, it’s really about to what degree do you filter, how do you filter?”
  • Steve Ransom on 03 Jul 14
     
    Teachers should have the professional courtesy of managing blocked/filtered sites

  • Learning and play are one and the same to kids; it’s we adults who have been conditioned to believe that play is the opposite of work, a time-waster. In fact, the opposite of play is not work but depression
  • Joy is a much a sign of learning as concentration. Look for how much joy is involved in what they’re doing
