Library Education Computer Software Educational Technology Internet Communication Skills Electronic Publishing Web Sites Public Schools School Libraries Cooperation Censorship Federal Legislation Partnerships in Education Success in today's global market requires students to attain numerous 21st-Century skills, including collaborative and communication skills, and knowledge of how to use technology to both locate and create information. The use of instructional blogging in the classroom is one way to help students develop such skills. The Children's Internet Protection Act, or CIPA, requires many public schools and libraries to use filtering software in order to fulfill funding restrictions, leaving many schools without access to blogging sites. Such filtering software is not only ineffective, but also violates the rights of Internet users and the principles of library media education. Communication between educators, administrators, students, and parents can help facilitate a compromise regarding the use of Internet filters in schools, and expand Internet access so that instructional blogging may occur. |
