Re: [LM_NET] Tech: Unblocking web sites

[Paula Yohe <paula_yohe@YAHOO.COM>]

That still doesn't unblock quick enough when a teacher
is in a classroom.
We use Lightspeed -
If a site is blocked page comes up and allows teachers
o\r students to request that a site be unblocked.
When they click submit
it generates an email to me, one of my staff, and
Lightspeed. It shows the URL they were trying to
access -


I am normally at my desk and if not - the other staff
member I have assigned to this has to be at hers 

Since we see the URL - I can respond and say
misspelled URL --
and send the correct link back and the can click on 
it and keep on going.

I also can click directly on the link and take a look
at it and respond immediately. That it is unblocked or
why it can't be --

if it is something  questionable - than I can tell
them and contact the superintendent (that has only
happened once)

A little extra work -- but well worth it to me --
Paula
