An interesting site regarding filtering in schools..... BalancedFiltering.org is a grassroots campaign to promote balanced content filtering in schools which complies with the law, promotes accountability, and encourages responsible digital citizenship

The article is really well written and for me provided tremendous clarity. I think this will help provide guidance on how to better utilize filtering and allow students/teachers to have more responsibility to be accountable and responsible. Thanks, Anne!
