What Internet?
So, I'd estimate 80% of the internet is blocked at my job. Not just on student accounts, but the teachers as well. I can understand this on some level, with sites like amazon, or others that are shopping...but when the Queens college library became blocked I thought they were getting a little retarded.
Recently wikipedia was added to the ranks.
Loathe as I am to admit it, every teacher, who makes a powerpoint uses it on some level. I've used it as quick reference many times, especially in the Government and Economics class I worked in last year (quietly digging up interesting tidbits for the lead teacher to use).
I think the most amusing aspect of how dependent the faculty of my district is on wikipeida is that today, while looking through the latest union meeting report it was apparently asked, at one point "Why is Wikipedia being blocked?!"
I'm not sure how to take it; that the matter made it to a Union meeting.
