Digital Smarts - What Happens When Schools Try to Filter the Internet

As some schools continue to roll out one-to-one device programs, they also are stepping up their Internet filters to ensure students have restricted access to some sites and inappropriate content. Parents are often the ones driving this movement. In some cases, students are able to quickly get around the filters. Of course, the converse is that teachers say the restrictions are too rigid for sites they'd like to use in class and school librarians have an annual Banned Websites Awareness Day.
