Certainly can't hurt to have a cliff notes version with modifications. <br />It's interesting that you bring up the bandwidth. That is something that didn't even cross my mind, however, it is something that happens frequently, especially when iPads are being used or an entire computer lab is trying to access the same sites. It would be great for districts to start addressing that part of the network, as a lot of errors or problems may stem from that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859589049533183603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444432303455508742.post-25787413061622480072014-07-14T10:27:39.997-07:002014-07-14T10:27:39.997-07:00Matt,

There have been several instances, with YouTube, where I have pulled up a clip or even our morning announcements (digital media club makes them the afternoon before and they are on a YouTube channel) that the videos preselected that come up on the screen when the clip is completed are strange and I sometimes can't get the screen closed out quick enough before questions are being asked. I'm definitely thankful for the IT staff we do have and everything they do, it is a difficult job.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859589049533183603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6444432303455508742.post-63466420166757155932014-07-13T15:21:02.946-07:002014-07-13T15:21:02.946-07:00I think you should submit this to your district si...I think you should submit this to your district since I guarantee you no one reads the original. ;)<br /><br />One thing I don't see many policies addressing is bandwidth and the responsibility of both the district and its users. If it is a scarce resource, what responsibilities to each share in provision and protection? I see many people getting frustrated with poor access to media sites like Discovery Education and then find out 30 students have been trying to watch the same videos on their devices. I'd like to see more policies addressing this part of the network.

I found the line under "responsibility" about giving access but keeping inappropriate thing out of reach somewhat ironic, as I do in my own district. Is that even possible, considering how vast and unpredictable the internet is? For example, when I watch "America the Story of Us" on YouTube with my kids, a somewhat inappropriate video has come up at the end to watch, based on who knows what kind of ad algorithm. Is that considered "inappropriate"? So difficult for school's these days!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793745191209098604noreply@blogger.com
