==__Close. Again branded. (30s)__ __Initial Ideas__ tool (?) and discussion around 'blocking' and strategies for dealing with this. Common constraints, one tool ETR collaborators would love to have unblocked, advice/'rules' in England vs Scotland, top ways of 'getting around' blocking (technical and professional ways)==
 * what is the real point of blocking?
 * a network managers viewpoint from (any) authority who is responsible for the level of access granted. I remember reading a comment from an ex network manager somewhere. I will pursue. [|Check out this post.]
 * I like your comparison of Scotland v England . Clips from a variety of teachers across authorities highlighting the contrast between authorities in terms of what is blocked and what is not. This could possibly be made quite humourous
 * Ways to get round filters (without annoying your boss) - youtube:downloading videos. google earth: save a simulation on your computer. Other things? Online storage
 * One tool ETR would love unblocked (from Tweet).
 * Who does your blocking? How can you communicate with them? How would you phrase asking for (web2.0) site to be cleared? Automated system of blocking/unblocking available to make it as functional as possible. Unblocking INSET - groups work together to set up wish list (news sites etc) - these are peer-reviewed and then forwarded for clearing. No peer-to-peer allowed. YouTube may be difficult to block from a central location due to inapprop content elsewhere on YouTube. Could (blogging) teachers build up (wiki) categories of access (teacher - prim pupil - sec pupil - no - just educ - all for YPs). Second Life is an application, these are often dealt with differently from browser sites; in some places it is not auto blocked. Could groups of teachers be setup (posts applied for) that would have high degree of control and reponsibility for unblocking applications and sites (there would be a local/national 'list' agreed upon and updated by the group). Proforma with rationale required. Blocking is not a good way of managing/promoting pupil behaviour. How do we get to teacher override (essential for JIT learning)**
