Intellectual Freedom and Internet Filters: Can We Have Both?
CIPA legislation has made the use of filters in schools nearly mandatory. How does a school effectively use a filtering program, how do you determine if your filter is working properly, and how do you set policies on what should or should not be filtered? This presentation examines how filters work, if they are effective, how to prevent over-blocking, and additional efforts districts must undertake to make sure students are working safely on the Internet.
