» Would You Please Block? Bud the Teacher - 16 views

  • What we’ve decided is that we will no longer use the web filter as a classroom management tool.  Blocking one distraction doesn’t solve the problem of students off task – it just encourages them to find another site to distract them.  Students off task is not a technology problem – it’s a behavior problem. 
  • We know that the best filters in a classroom or lab are the people in that lab – both the educational staff monitoring student computer use as well as the students themselves.
  • This opens up possibilities for students and staff using websites for instructional purposes that in the past were blocked due to broad category blocks.  It requires that staff and students manage their technology use rather than relying on a third party solution that can never do the job of replacing teachers monitoring students.

History of online gambling - 0 views

  •  
    The first online casino became popular in 1996. However, the history of online gambling can actually be traced back to the year 1994. This was the year that the governing body of Antigua and Barbuda passed "The Free Trade and Processing Zone Act" to keep up with the vibrant entertainment lifestyle of this tiny Caribbean hideaway.

Watertown Daily Times | Canton to block some access to Facebook - 3 views

  • "To my knowledge, no other district in our area allows access to Facebook," Mr. Gregory said. "I think the district needs to take a proactive approach. Today it's Facebook, a few months from now there could be something else that comes up."

      So, is he saying that they should meet every week and decide on what to block next. Or, that it's time, to use this as a 'teachable' moment. Educate the students on it's potential and appropriate use, and consequate students who use it inappropriately?
  • The protests were sparked by a Canton high school social studies teacher who wanted his students to use their own Facebook page as a way to interact with each other for academic-related discussions
    • Bruce Vigneault
       
      Gee, an educational use. What nove thinking!
  • Opponents of that move argued the site can pose safety risks, wastes time and exposes students to unmonitored advertising messages.
