| Maine Voices: It's not school's role to monitor kids' Internet activities at home |
| Posted by: Susan Einhorn |
| I can't believe what I've just read regarding Portland schools and limits on their laptops. If what I'm hearing is correct, the reasoning behind this is wrong. While E-Rate does state that inappropriate sites must be blocked, that is only on school grounds. There is nothing in the E-Rate policy that says the school must overstep its bounds and block usage at home. E-Rate policy also dictates that there must be a digital citizenship course to help students learn about being good online citizens. |
