Blocking websites in schools can have both a positive or negative look to online safety. Schools often block access to websites for a number of reasons. If you were to ask the students, a large portion of them would say that it’s a waste of time and explain all the negative sides to blocked websites. They also might bring up the annoyances that comes along with these blocked websites. However, if you were to look at the teachers' or
administrators' side to the blocked website programs, they would most likely be on the positive side of this subject. In this article, you will see both the positive and negative affects of blocking websites in a school environment.
Blocked websites can get to be very annoying in school when you are a student trying to either do a project online or if you want to play an online game in your free time. For most students, they don’t see that having blocked websites is actually keeping them safe when online in school. You may wonder how it would keep them safe and if it is effective. For instance, being secure online, protecting personal information, and understanding privacy are a few examples that blocked websites are positive. The blocking of
inappropriate sites in schools also helps students to be more responsible and safe in the online environment. For the teacher side to online safety, not having the blocked websites is necessary due to the fact that they are more cautious and responsible in what they use the Internet for. If a teacher thinks that the contents of a blocked website are appropriate for students to see, they should have their own computer with the privilege to not have blocked sites.
After this article, do you still believe that schools should have blocked websites for just the students? Should teachers have the privilege to be able to do what they want online and to show classes what they want under certain circumstances? Are blocking inappropriate websites keeping students safe and giving them a responsible way to use the online environment? Should students be able to have a say in the blocking of websites?
