WEB+2.0+filters

Web 2.0 tools are limited in many schools because their school districts limit access to twitter, youtube, wikispacces etc.. While it is understandable that they act out of concern for the student's cyber saftey, it is overkill in many areas and prevents legitimate use of the internet for educational purposes.

Cyber safety is extremely important - as is the teachers' concern for professional responsibility. We need to teach them all the appropriate / proper use of these sites. High school tech courses need to focus on proper use - and safe use - not necessarily the mechanics.
