A 2003 study by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Online Policy Group found that even schools that use minimal Internet blocking and filtering software block tens of thousands of websites without harmful content. The same study found that many websites related to state curriculum were also blocked. This over-blocking limits Internet access for students and teachers]]> 2018-10-11 00:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenmoy/b76678q4l1nj/wish/291520550 haydenmoy https://padlet.com/haydenmoy/b76678q4l1nj/wish/291524539 A lot of these censored programs are created by private companies. These companies decide and create the criteria of what is and is not suitable for the internet. One of these companies is the FCC's Children's Internet Protection Act. TheCIPA outlines standards of what images it considers harmful to students, but Internet filtering software is not regulated by CIPA. The filtering software that many schools use is created by private companies that decide what kinds of content should be filtered. This leads to sites being blocked or filtered that do not fall under the criteria set by CIPA.]]> 2018-10-11 01:18:46 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenmoy/b76678q4l1nj/wish/291524539 haydenmoy https://padlet.com/haydenmoy/b76678q4l1nj/wish/291525284 Filtering Internet content can make your child overly curious and they may even go behind your back to try and get access to the restricted information. It is very important to make your child understand why filtering content is necessary.

The Internet is really not like an adult television which only allows adult broadcasts late at night. It is more like a library where anyone can access and insert content anywhere on the shelves at any time. Undesirable content can be accessed just as easily. Filtering content as cell tracking has its cons and pros; however, only a parent can determine which one will outweigh the other.]]> 2018-10-11 01:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenmoy/b76678q4l1nj/wish/291525284 haydenmoy https://padlet.com/haydenmoy/b76678q4l1nj/wish/291526920  Josh Dozier, Hayden Moy, Janelle Gonzales, Bryan Leyva]]> 2018-10-11 01:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenmoy/b76678q4l1nj/wish/291526920 haydenmoy https://padlet.com/haydenmoy/b76678q4l1nj/wish/291527577 Websites that can be blocked at school aren't necessarily being permanently blocked. Students have more access to technology at home than ever before, having it blocked at school doesn't eliminate the threat completely. Applying this to outside of a computer, there are no filters in the real world. This is a great opportunity to teach kids the reality of the world.]]> 2018-10-11 01:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenmoy/b76678q4l1nj/wish/291527577 haydenmoy https://padlet.com/haydenmoy/b76678q4l1nj/wish/291528312 2018-10-11 01:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenmoy/b76678q4l1nj/wish/291528312 haydenmoy https://padlet.com/haydenmoy/b76678q4l1nj/wish/291528646 2018-10-11 01:40:39 UTC https://padlet.com/haydenmoy/b76678q4l1nj/wish/291528646
