Policies and guidelines
Introduction: **All schools will need to align their cyber safety policies with their long-term strategic planning. Considerations will need to be made in relation to how to mentor our students to be savvy, ethical digital citizens, how to keep our students safe online, how to provide a safe electronic environment (infrastructure) for our students to work in and how to educate our parents.

Internet censorship

 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Introduction: **<span style="color: #173519; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Many schools use internet blockers. They block the dangerous and inappropriate sites that should be blocked, but they also block sites that really don't need to be blocked and have real educational value - like Youtube, wikispaces, blogs etc. Sometimes you can type a word like 'shag' hoping to find a relevant website on birds, only to find these sites are blocked as well.
