[LM_NET] Quick survey regarding Internet filters

[Mary Ann Bell <drmaryannbell@GMAIL.COM>]

I am curious as to whether districts are still using a list of
"inappropriate words" as a way to set filters, and whether such lists
continue to be as problematical as they have been in the past. Further, I am
wondering if districts are still blocking the words "blog" and "MySpace" so
that you cannot even read about such sites, much less access them. I have
created a VERY QUICK survey at this site and would appreciate reactions.
There are only 3 true-false questions and then places for a bit of input IF
you desire to share. I will, of course, share results. Thanks in advance,
mabell
