Internet+censorship

= Internet censorship =


 * Introduction: **Many schools use internet blockers. They block the dangerous and inappropriate sites that should be blocked, but they also block sites that possibly don't need to be blocked and have real potential educational value - like Youtu be, wikispaces, blogs etc. Sometimes you can type a word like 'shag' hoping to find a relevant website on birds, only to find these sites are blocked as well.

NetSafe, in collaboration with NZ teachers, created a discussion document to help schools consider what is right in their context. []


 * Suggestion: ** Blocking web sites at school

 * Reflection: ** Should we lock our systems down or find another way to manage them like using tools like [|Hector's World Safety Button]? What do you think? Please add your comments in the Voicethread application below.  Note: You will need an existing account with [|VoiceThread] to do this.
