NECC panel session: filtering, AUPs, web publishing rights

Hi everyone. I've just returned from last week's National Educational
Computing Conference (NECC), which was held this year in Atlantic City.
While I was there I took part in a session hosted by Dr. Larry Anderson of
Mississippi State, which also included Al Rogers of Global Schoolhouse, Tom
March, developer of WebQuests, and Shelley Pasnik of the Center for
Children and Technology. The session was supposed to be a broad Q&A
discussion on education issues, but the focus quickly turned to the debate
over government mandated filtering and students' publishing rights on the
Web. I've made a transcript of the session that can be found online at

http://edweb.gsn.org/necc99/experts.html

I'd invite all of you to read it if you get a chance. It's a little long
(8000 words) but it's a revealing look at educators' attitudes towards
filtering and (in some cases) what happens when educators don't understand
or recognize students' web publishing rights.

Hope you enjoy it...
