sessions. At that time she indicated that a few phones currently have a
fairly simply filter that parents can apply but that those filters are
pretty easy for kids to work around. The other piece of news she shared
was that all these smart phones are by-passing our school filters, which
has huge ramifications for those of us at boarding school. It made sense
when she said it, but many of us in the room hadn't thought about that
before (We were almost all Res. Life folks and not tech folks).
Ms. Koestner's suggestion was that parents not dish out smart phones to
kids and that schools build technology policies that take this problem
into consideration.=20

Subject: iphone/itouch
I have parents asking about filters for iphones and itouch . the kids
have figured out that maybe they have filters at home, but are accessing
all kinds of things on the phones. I am having trouble finding
information.
Any help would be appreciated.
