[|Group 4] Introduction to School Web Filtering
The issues of safety, net etiquette, and appropriate content are serious ones for any school with Internet connectivity, yet there is no consensus on how schools should deal with these issues. School policies vary from district to district, and even school to school. Responses range from giving the issue no consideration until a crisis faces the school board and administrators all the way to extreme measures that make Internet use almost nonexistent. Through this lesson, you will examine these issues to insure that you understand the concepts of acceptable use and the pros and cons of how such policies are implemented and enforced. As you explore these issues, you will be forced to consider First Amendment rights and how our nation is approaching free speech in the Internet age. You will also be looking at issues that will confront you as teacher, whether you are dealing with issues of classroom management in your own classroom, talking to parents who have concerns and may not know much about the Internet (other than the scare stories in the media), and when working on teams with other teachers and administrators on the development of school policy. = = =The Quest=
