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.

Thank you Sue, I'll do that.

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.
