  • Bypassing draconian Chinese Internet content filtering #learning2cn

    Being online in China reminds me of using a computer in many of our Oklahoma public schools.* In September 2007 after returning from Shanghai I wrote the post, “Content filtering in Communist China versus an Oklahoma school.” At that time when I was presenting at a conference in China, I used a paid, subscriber account…

  • Criticism of School District Content Filtering Policies is not a personal attack on ALL tech directors

    I shared the following today as a response to a comment posted on my recent rant, “Cognitive dissonance from the school internet filtering message.” I think the issues and questions highlighted here are worth extracting and sharing as a separate post.

  • Reflections on home content filtering and OpenDNS after a year of use

    Do you use content filtering on your home network? (This free PollEverywhere survey will permit 30 people to vote on this question.) Create your own sms poll at Poll Everywhere I’ve written in the past about how draconian the content filters are in most of our Oklahoma public schools relative to countries with fewer legal…

  • Addressing concerns about Ning open social networking vulnerability

    I posted the following memo to our Celebrate Oklahoma Voices learning community this afternoon, in response to questions raised by a school district official and a company providing content filtering services for some of our Oklahoma school districts.

  • Helping more teachers and students access a Ning website via a subdomain and a CNAME entry in DNS

    I am delighted after many months to have finally figured out how to do something which I hope will greatly extend the accessibility of our “Celebrate Oklahoma Voices” Ning website to more teachers and students in Oklahoma schools (and elsewhere) in the months ahead.
