After FaceBook and YouTube were blocked we successfully reversed that decision. By citing our material reconsideration policy, we made the case that they were instructional materials, and blocking access required the procedure accepted by School Committee, as would be the case with any other challenged material. We continue to work hard at being proactive about teachable moments, promoting professional development in Web 2.0 tools, and embedding civic responsibility in our instructional practice.
It was hard trying to give accurate answers to this survey. In some categories some things are blocked but others are not. For example, YouTube is blocked but TeacherTube and SchoolTube are not, Flickr is blocked but some of the other photo sites are not. I wonder how many other districts are similar.
