I thought I would share my excitement of the first day back after vacation. First I will set the stage by telling you that my district does have a filter on our internet. I did however have one slip through today. A fourth grade teacher was doing a lesson on Maryland. She was using a page of links she has used in the past. One of the students clicked on what should have been a link to Kid Channel at - http://www.kid-channel.com/ what she got was an adult site. Luckily it was one with no pictures just words. She was in such shock she came to the door that separates the library from the computer lab and yelled "Come look at the" "Come look at this" I had my students sit down and made my way to the lab. I told her to write down the address and have the students not use that link until I can get it removed from her link page. I then did a short just in time lesson on how "not Nice" people can take over website addresses and what to do if it happens to you. What a way to start the new year! -- Diane Mentzer Library Media Specialist, Technology Coordinator, + Webmaster County Computer Educator of the Year for 2000 Paramount Elementary School Hagerstown, MD http://www.wcboe.k12.md.us/mainfold/schoopag/elementary/paramount/index.html school - mentzdia@wcboe.k12.md.us home - dmentzer@zoomlynx.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
