Melissa Handy said… - Mike, I should've added a resource for web filtering to your 1-to-1 posting. We allow our students to take their tablet computers home to give everyone an equal playing field. Now, I'd like to filter our upper school students less than we currently do...but that is another topic. Anyway, we use a great filtering system that filters students even off campus with their machines. You may already have something but if you are in the market, you should look at a McAfee Secure WebWasher. They started as a smaller company called Secure Computing and McAfee bought them out this year. Anyway, the web filtering products and their tech support are top of the line and very reasonably priced. Call me if you want more information. I am happy to share.

I actually hope you won't see too many more messages for that timeframe. I am looking forward to continuing our conversation, though, even at the risk of another short night.
