More and more our resources are not physical objects in our classrooms but tools and content found on the internet. But who gets to choose what gets blocked? Often blocking is done by someone who is not in the trenches and is afraid of lawsuits. I recently went to this interesting presentation to start momentum from teachers to govern what gets blocked. No one will argue that things that are deemed adult content or graphic violence are not needed but too often social tools which actually can improve student communication skills are blocked. The rest of the world is talking and we should not be left out of the conversation!
