[LM_NET] Internet Filter Inquiry

[Christine Keogh <ckeogh@LEJARDINACADEMY.COM>]

Hi Everyone,  

I am looking to gather information about the internet filter and use at your
school.  We are starting to think about changing out internet filter for
next year.  Currently, we have one strong filter for the entire school and
faculty.  Our tech department is considering purchasing a filter that will
allow different levels of filtering depending on grade.  I was curious as to
what you do at your school? Do you have a filter at your school?  If so, do
you have separate levels of filtering depending on grade?  If you don't
filter, do you have ways to monitor students?  

 

We are also reviewing our Student Use Policy for next year as we hope to use
more Web 2.0 resources.  Do your students need a parent signature before
registering for wikis, nings, blogs, etc?   Are they allowed to use their
first name or are the required to use an avatar and alias?  Is this a part
of your Acceptable Use Policy or separate?  


I would appreciate any information you can provide about your school filter
and Internet Policies.  

Thanks for your time!  



Christine
