Walled Gardens: It's Time to Go
This blog discusses walled gardens and why it is time for educational institutions to say good-bye.
The voice thread below comments on my personal views of the use of filtering software in our schools. Click here for the accompanied text of the presentation. The photo represents a time in the world's history where a wall blocking a group of people from the outside world finally came down. This is representative of why filtering software must go. Students must be able to find knowledge and connections from all over the globe, not just certain places (or websites).
