Word story
Founded in 1998, the website Google.com has become such an institution that in its short existence, it has changed not only the way we process the endless data found on the information superhighway, but also the way we think and talk about the Internet.
So, there you have it. We can't even breath without Google being involved!
But, for us Educational Tech-folks, Google causes all sorts of interesting issues; unauthorized YouTube videos, sending texts during class, filtering web results, beta software, unannounced changes... arrggg!!!!
One of the most commonly asked questions that I get from my world-wide network of schools is: "HOW DO WE HANDLE GOOGLE AND FILTERING??!!"
OK, you asked for it, so here is the answer!!!
