Digital Security

My first inclination is that there really is no digital security - as fast as an entity blocks something - someone else is challenged to find a way around that block. Does that mean a school should just allow everything because they can't block everything - no. I don't want to be visually assaulted every time I turn on my computer at school and I surely do not want my students to have to wade through all the sewage to find some good tools to work with. I think security will continue to be an evolving process. We need to hire the best and brightest to work with our IT systems in schools to help us be proactive instead of reactive in our firewalls and security.

Hey Chips! I saw you under my followers and had to "follow suit." Will look forward to your updates. As for the topic at hand, boy, if anyone could tell me how to stay one step ahead of my kids on technology, they'd be wealthy. Wish I knew more about this area --a quick lesson for dummies would be great: How to regain control of your computer and life 101!
