Thing #4 Week #2

That should have been the title to my last post. Like I stated before, I'm just starting to get my feet wet on this whole blogging thing. Now that I mention it. The first post should have been called Thing #1,2,3 Week 1 &2. So just to clarify, I have completed "Thing #4" and am now ready for "Thing 5". Sounds like something from a Dr. Suess book. Thing 5 is about Flickr and it seems that the site is blocked through my school district. I wonder why a site that is seemigly educational (or else we wouldn't be going through it) would be blocked, and how many other teachers/ librarians experience the same issue w/in their districts? That would seem like a great obstacle for teachers who are always pressed for time.

The double-edged sword of technology... correct use is helpful, misuse is potentially a problem. Can you access your blog without problem from your school or do you have to work on it at another location? Good luck!

I'm able to use the blog, but I do know that some of the other "social" areas of the internet are blocked through our district. Thanks!

I've just started on my journey through 23 Things from my home computer. I can see now that the challenge will be what is blocked and what is not blocked by our School District's filters.
