Let Freedom Flow

Let Freedom Flow

School
Last Thursday the school librarian told me that this website is inappropriate. I'm expecting to see it blocked from the school computers Tuesday. Apparently, this site is a gathering place for sexual predators. It also has the TIG Messenger, and email and Instant Messenging are strictly forbidden at the school. (About 20 ft away from me was a girl who was checking her Hotmail while the librarian was telling me all this.)

Hi Kevin, As a teacher for the Toronto District School Board, I have worked for the past year with TIG staff to develop educational programs that are greatly enhanced by the use of this site. Last week our grade 8's put on a film festival based on TIG's ten Understandings. It was outstanding. Tell your librarian to check out the TIGed site, explain to her that all discussions are monitored ... have him/her drop me a note if more information is needed. Sue

Thanx Thank you Sue, I'll do that. -Kev

Thankfully tIg was not blocked because I wrote a formal-ish letter and gave it to the librarian. Convincing the school to integrate tIg is another story, though. This is a NH school, and progressivism is not among it's strong points.
