Anything with the word "blog" in it results in the scary ACCESS DENIED AND ATEMPT LOGGED page. <BR/><BR/>The IT guy at my school worked with me to set up special accounts on the school's network for my students. They have special usernames and passwords which they use to login. The browser is set to our blog by default. <BR/><BR/>In the end, one way or another, the kids worked it out themselves to be able to blog from home. <BR/><BR/>Given the powerful educational gains to be had from blogging I'm fairly confident that if push came to shove I could negotiate with my administration and IT support to get access for a class on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if you could work out a similar arrangement with the administration at your school?Darren Kuropatwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462283847470560887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710973.post-1113541340049526482005-04-14T23:02:00.000-06:002005-04-14T23:02:00.000-06:00Wow.

Certainly, though, it's a technical error and not an issue of intentional blocking (I hope, at least.). <BR/> I wonder sometimes if it's too easy for an IT person or someone else to block content that might seem objectionable or difficult or tricky. We should have policies in place to maintain the open flow of information on the Internet. <BR/> It should be really, really hard for someone to block websites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710973.post-1113524368620192372005-04-14T18:19:00.000-06:002005-04-14T18:19:00.000-06:00I had the same pb at school Nancy...they had vetoe...I had the same pb at school Nancy...they had vetoed the word "blog". I told the IT dept to let me post on blogger.com and blogspot so he let me have it. <BR/>All the others are blocked though.<BR/>I hope it works for you.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649394106690803075noreply@blogger.com
