After having had had a couple of interesting discussions with a couple of schools recently about internet filtering I was sent this link advocating the removal of internet filtering in schools - and it has got me thinking about this again - how much should schools do?
What does your school do about filtering and why? Has filtering got in the way of anything you have been trying to do with students?
Are the teachers in your school comfortable with the idea of more open access and do the teachers feel they have the strategies and knowledge to work with, and advise students (of all ages) in Digital Citizenship.
I feel we should be having conversations with all learners in our school around cyber safety and appropriate way to work digitally. (I don't mean giving them rules .......)
Ditch Internet Filters? Hmmm - what are your thoughs Link here
Internet Filtering Software need of today’s worlds. They monitor internet activity, block site access, automatic enforcement of company guideline and reporting of inappropriate behavior. There is more importance attached to an appliance-based solution.
