 * __ISTEL - Leading and Learning with Technology__**
 * this article discusses the **pros and cons of censoring and filtering the internet for students**
 * pros:
 * protects students of dangers from the internet, school is not responsible if anything inappropriate were to happen
 * cons:
 * students are not taught how to protect themselves from the dangers of the internet; they will end up using it on their own
 * students will not learn how to become responsible internet users


 * after doing this reading, I was not sure how I felt about internet filtering at school. I think to allow students to use the internet without any boundries is too risky for schools and too much responsibility. I think that sites like youtube and even facebook should not be censored because they are not dangers to students. My concern are more pornographic websites. I do agree with some filtering but I do believer that the filtering now is too strict and should be broaden.
