Hello everone! I am currently working on my masters degree thesis and was hoping you could help me out! One of my research questions is as follows:
[I]Are there any new software programs or advanced firewalls that can prevent students from roaming inappropriate sections of the Internet?[/I]
Any information you have to offer me would be great! My masters degree is in education with a focus on integrating technology in the classroom. Next year will be my fourth year teaching. I have been assigned a 6th grade core laptop position. I will be teaching history and english at a middle school by implementing technology. All of my students will have their own laptop and learn by utilizing the Internet and popular software programs. If you have favorite software or firewall material, please let me know about it. You may want to include information such as if the firewalls are school wide or district wide. Does your district have an AUP? Are teachers and parents familiar with it? ect... Thanks so much!
