      But, I really CAN understand if a district doesn't have the bandwidth to support it being open to all on every computer. But why not in the library, at least?
  • Websites don’t have to be blocked for teachers
    • anonymous
       
      This one dirves me NUTS!! Even in the SUMMER some tech folks won't open up the filter and just block the porn.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Schools will not lose E-rate funding by unblocking appropriate sites.

      Then, if this is the case, ANY filtering beyond the Porn sites should be considered Censorship, IMHO

      Exactly!! I wish I could get this through to our district and make this a priority!
  • We also want students to be nice to each other, and not to engage in bullying, in an online space where their voice is amplified and persistent. We want students to grow up to be good digital citizen.
    • Michelle Eichelberger
       
      We need to be proactive in this, not always cleaning up the "mess" once cyberbullying has taken place.
  • requires providing professional development for adults working with these students.
    • Michelle Eichelberger
       
      This is so necessary.

    "To clear up some of the confusion around these comments and assertions, I went straight to the top: the Department of Education's Director of Education Technology, Karen Cator. Cator parsed the rules of the Childrens Internet Protection Act, and provided guidance for teachers on how to proceed when it comes to interpreting the rules. To that end, here are six surprising rules that educators, administrators, parents and students might not know about website filtering in schools."
