The Future is HERE!
The Department of Education has mandated that
all schools in the United States be wired to the Internet! Daily,
the news informs us of the latest technological advances in this
arena, bringing us information faster and more efficiently. Classroom
assignments now regularly accept and in some cases, expect Internet
research as part of the criteria for a passing grade.
However...
And even though the "wired world" information
boom has given us an opportunity, no one can deny the proliferation
of "distractions" also available to the students. Examine
the effort your school administration has made to create a set
of guidelines and policies to promote a healthy and safe educational
experience for the students and teachers. Does it not stand to
reason those same policies should extend to your school's Internet
access as well?
Content Filtering...
Your school administration has made a substantial
investment in the implementation and maintenance of a internal
network system allowing student and teacher access to the Internet.
The bandwidth you provide for their day to day offers them unlimited
resources for research, teaching and communications.
But, what is your school policy
on:
- viewing or accessing graphic sexual materials
in the classroom?
- engaging in racist, political or religious
activities in the classroom?
- the distribution and use of pirate or hacker
software in the classroom?
- the violation of copyright materials in the
classroom?
Obviously, your school policies forbids this.
However, through the use of the Internet, students and teachers
have access to ALL of them, and more! And by doing so, they tie
up resources and drive up the costs associated with connection
bandwidth.
But the bigger issue is what kind of response
can you give a parent when the question comes up about what his
or her child has seen on the Internet at school today?
