Technology is growing more and more each day. As a teacher my problem with the blocking issue is that sometimes the most common things that you are searching for comes back as a blocked site and everything that comes back blocked is not inappropriate for school. The librarian at my school was teaching a lesson to the middle school students about the fake websites that look really valid but are fake. The website was a physician’s website but it was blocked. Also any images that I look for are blocked. I can understand some of the blocks but some are too much. Some of the work that I need to do at school I have to wait until I get home to finish my work. I really think there should be a way that you can add or filter some of the websites that teachers need that are really not inappropriate.
