 * =Pros= || =Cons= || =Solutions= ||
 * * online filtering keeps kids safe
 * restrictions offer consistency in classrooms
 * Keep students on task
 * Limit cyber bullying
 * Protects school, teachers, and administration from potential lawsuits || * when you are teaching students about responsibility, etiquette, and safety in technology it is counter productive to not give students opportunities to act responsibly independently
 * Blanket filters restrict both good and bad websites, limiting the resources you can use in the classroom
 * Technological responsibility is taken away from the student
 * Students don't learn to self-govern
 * Promotes sidestepping, students will get there anyway || * instead of using filters, teach students responsible internet usage and online etiquette
 * monitor your classroom's internet use ||
