We are currently running a one-to-one tablet PC pilot program in our
sixth grade. Because this is a pilot, we bought the computers and are
loaning them to the students. Each student has local admin rights on
their tablet and continue to be well educated about internet safety
issues. The tablets have just gone home for the first time and we have
some parents who are interested in installing filtering software,
especially software that can block "XXX" sites. We would love to know
if any of you have had a similar experience and what your
recommendations are. Our questions are:
1. Did you allow parents to install their own filtering software on
school-owned or school-managed laptops? If so, how did that work out?
2. Do you have any specific software recommendations that we might
recommend to parents?
3. Have any of you bought school licenses for filtering software that
you installed on laptops loaned to students for a 1:1 program? If so,
how did that work out?

As always, thanks for your wisdom and time!
