Thank you so much - that gives me a feel for what I need in terms of hardware. My network guy, the one I go to when it is over my head, is telling me I'll needs lots more hardware than that so having something from someone that works is a great help.

Hey Beth,
We don't block facebook and other social networking sites. For the most part, this works for us. It doesn't mean our students aren't off task periodically, but I wouldn't point to facebook/social networks as the reasons for off task behavi…
How are our discussions about safety on the internet evolving as students (and adults) become increasingly connected through social networking and other means? Have we changed our tone, and how?
