A request
I am knee-deep in writing several ongoing papers to try to put a new blogging project on the road. It is exciting!
One of the things I need to do is follow up on a request from a teacher in a school. She needs a list of all the sites we need to have unblocked with an explanation of how we will use them with our students. Now I can do this but I’m really thinking about the best approach to educate, as well as get the message out in a professional way. This could be a great resource for all of us. So I was wondering if any of you have done this or have some quick one liners for justifications. If you could share your approach or point me to examples I would most appreciate it. I know Flickr and Furl are two sites that have been blocked. I’m not sure what others. I’ll add them as I find out.

I really can’t believe that FURL is blocked.
In order to have the students do collaberative research from home, school or the library the students need to use FURL to share resources.

I agree with Diane — what was the rationale for blocking Furl?

This is the message that comes up on the screen:
Internet access to the requested website has been denied based on your user profile and organization’s Internet Usage Policyl
That’s all I know - when I return to the school I will see if the instructional technology teacher knows any more!
