I just read the blog from Francisco about filtering, and I immediately thought of filtering in the classroom. I am often torn between filtering for my 4th graders or not. If I filter too much, they may not know how to search for things online once they get home. If I don't filter enough, they will run into inappropriate things!

I like the fact that anybody can publish things on the internet for all to see. Sites like flickr and utube allow people to post and comment on some crazy and often amazing things....maybe more often crazy. I have used utube to learn how to play the banjo but finding exactly what I want is not easy. That we have to filter through what is good and bad or interesting to us can take a lot of time. I think it really contributes to the difficulty I have with these sites. I get tied up looking at…

4 week Technology Camp has a great impact on students who had no previous computer access.

The Challenge

Dallas McPheeters was asked to prepare a Summer Technology camp for 430 students in an elementary school near the US/Mexico border. All the school had to offer to facilitate this was a set of eight year old PCs running…
