BLOCKS

As an art teacher, I am frustrated by blocks to internet content. I certainly understand that access to pornography and violent content would be regretable in an educational environment, BUT so far this year I have set up what I thought would be fun and exciting interactive lessons for my students three times with disappointing results. When we went to the computers, access was blocked. I was also unable for students to access my Kara Walker posts on my blog. I spent a lot of time carefully selecting images of art works and interactive websites with totally innocuous content that I can access on my computer, and then find it not available when the students log in on their computers. I'm discouraged because I feel like I've wasted a lot of time for nothing.
