Comments on: Access denied http://librarygarden.net/2009/09/28/access-denied/ An ongoing conversation among librarians with differing perspectives (public, academic, school, consortial, youth) but one shared goal: ensuring the health and relevance of libraries. [insert your own gardening metaphor here] Fri, 17 May 2013 18:44:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Buy YouTube Views http://librarygarden.net/2009/09/28/access-denied/#comment-7233 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:47:27 +0000 http://librarygarden.net/?p=2399#comment-7233 I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering issues with your website. It appears like some of the text on your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This may be a problem with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Thanks

In the meantime, we have to rely on tools like this.

The whole idea behind this article, in a way, puts me in mind of a poem I once read. I can’t remember who wrote it, but it sure applies:

“Life’s greatest secrets are found in quiet pools,
And life’s greatest lessons are not all learned in schools.”

Teachers need the freedom to teach their students without filters, and the students need to refrain from abusing the web. I say, expose them to some of the things we’re trying to keep them away from in a controlled environment. Maybe it won’t be so tempting when they realize it’s unsafe, or even boring to visit those sites.

And he in actual fact bought me breakfast as a result of I discovered it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the deal with! However yeah Thnkx for spending the time to discuss this, I really feel strongly about it and love reading more on this topic. If doable, as you develop into experience, would you thoughts updating your blog with extra details? It is extremely useful for me. Large thumb up for this weblog put up!

Videos are a fantastic tool for language learning. My school blocks all videos. My entire class began blogging using Blogger. Six weeks into the semester the Blogger site was blocked. I would love to use slideshare, voicethread and many other tools with my students, but they are blocked too.

What really bothers me is the attitude the IT people have towards teacher needs. They have a contradictory goal to teachers. IT staff are required to keep the network safe and the best way to do that is to make it inaccessible.

Excellent.

So over-riding it is our civic duty,

I have been feeling such a weight on my shoulders with the access denied issue. We just moved to Barracuda for Net security and we are more restricted than ever.
The sad part is that the sites that the students aren’t suppose to get on, like games, lyrics, ring tones shopping is not blocked! How educational is that!
