[Swastika]

My school was this thing called "SurfControl" and you can only get on things that the school have manually put in the "safe" list, i think.

[Immenseman]

it would be easier for me to name the websites that arn't blocked tbh :p

[Lubricant]

HabboxForum has been blocked at work again for **** lol. Myspace and Bebo used to work but now they're blocked. Ebay is blocked because the company I work at has their own little auction/sell/buy thing on the intranet. Bebo used t o be accessable by only typing the http:// and leaving www. out. www. was banned.

Edited by Garion (Forum Super Moderator): Please do not avoid the Forum filter, thanks :).

[mat64]

im banned from the computer system though for d/ling firefox lolol

Haha in my school me and a few friend were first to work out how to do that, Then they blocked it so it doesn't work anymore. Too many people found out and they caught on after someone installed WLM on the school system (:rolleyes:). Didn't last long though we found a new way but not letting people find this one out :8.

[rockstar6]

we also have sincronise
where teachers see what your doing and they can controol your computer and put it on the huge interactive board thing

lol
lol someone put me on a shock **** site when i was away from computer and teacher dint know what it was and enlarged on white board!

[Decapitated!]

We have that thing were the teachers can control etc like somone said before but our teachers all right and lets us use myspace.

[Caution]

like.. everything with a swear word is blocked :l

our it teacher said like.. if we type in "Arsenal", it would be blocked cos it has "****" in it. shows how crap the filter is.

i told someone in my it class a proxy, it got spread round my year and some people got banned.

in IT i go on the intranet and play **** built it games.:rolleyes:

[brandon]

basically everything other than google.

[the wombats]

mainly game sites so i download firefox portable and installed it on my memory stick. it can get on any site for me. yay.

[Sly]

Most things are blocked in my school. So in i.c.t lessons i just do my work :p

[Elkaa]

RM Tutor 3 is a great piece of software. Being able to block sites from the comfort of your own chair is amazing. It beats having to email the administrators to do it and having to wait weeks for a reply.

The interface is quiet good as well.

One thing I would admit, is that RM Tutor 2 had a much better way of "secretly" monitoring students work - With RM Tutor 3 you have to take control of the machine to be able to see what's going on.

As for sites blocked, basically whatever I decide pupil's shouldn't be on. Most games sites are blocked, Hotmail and Myspace are not, though. (Yes, that includes Habbo!)

wth. you're an ict teacher..?

[Slash]

everything apart from google and revisewise or w/e.

[Elkaa]

wth. you're an ict teacher..?

ICT Assistant.

There are many ways to get around the blockers that are set on School systems, you'll find that most of the ICT Staff and/or System Admin's use them to get onto sites that have been blocked. The easiest way that I have been shown is to translate the webpage into English.

http://babelfish.altavista.com/ -> Translate from Spanish to English and, with almost all websites, you will then be able to view it. (This doesn't work if the site is blocked by RM Tutor, to my knowledge. Images that were originally blocked, will still be blocked)

[Kieeran]

OUr school has Sanako. Watches uis all time :( ill try tht site tho hopefully not get caught

[summer]

im banned from the computer system though for d/ling firefox lolol

xxx
dvd
habbo
runescape

etc

theres loads, me and my mate have a list somewhere.

[le harry]

We have a blacklist, we can only get on Hotmail, Wikipedia, Google & Other informative sites.

[Borat.]

we also have sincronise
where teachers see what your doing and they can controol your computer and put it on the huge interactive board thing
its funny when peoples convos come up
lol
Thats a complete invasion of privacy. They shouldnt be allowed 2 c ur private convos, especially when they put it up on a big screen. Id report them to the educaion authority me.

ye same


im banned from the computer system though for d/ling firefox lolol
Lol i did that but teachers dont care. Some actually like it too. Once firefox was able to get past each and every block but IT support managed to figure out a way to block that :(.

Oh and nearly everything is blocked at college. MSN, Myspace, bebo etc etc etc. Luckily this aint blocked :P

[Shawnstra]

Amazingly, my school blocks nothing even ****, we are not allowed to view it of course though :P

[Ekalb]

We had google images blocked (And lots of other things). But today the block was lifted. Apparantly it was about the 47th page of Richard. Something along those lines. Even though the block was simply avoidable for images on most websites. Usuaully the results just show as images with the red X but as long as you click them and click the image in the google frame you can still see the image. I'd say the Department of education chooses all the blocks and applies them to all the school systems. So there's your ordinary things like.

lol at being banned for downloading firefox
actually funnily enough a few kids were permanently banned from the computer rooms for playing Winterbells: http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g3/bells.htm
IT'S ABOUT A GOD DAMN BUNNY RABBIT JUMPING ON SOME BELLS - WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WHEN THERE ARE NEEKS PLAYING DIABLO AND EVEN ONE GUY PLAYING A N64 EMULATOR ON HIS FLASH DRIVE. CRAZY WOMAN.

[Roboevil]

Oh my God, that bunny game is so cool! My old school blocked everything except wikipedia and BBC, they're idiots.

[-Sweex]

[zak-x]

[Borat.]

[splatttt]

[Kaixx]

[Ekalb]

Some of the people at school, like the librarian will not care what the site is if it has SCHOOL or EDUCATION somewhere on it. So really you could just put some website up, as long as the host wasn't blocked and make the url SchoolGamesForAusKids.whatever and maybe put the word school or the Department logo somewhere on the web page and put a game there she wouldn't care.


We have a blacklist, we can only get on Hotmail, Wikipedia, Google & Other informative sites.
Your lucky to get hotmail, probably the only email host we can get onto is the school one and that's just lame and fills up with more spam than your normal inboxes since people only need your full name to send you an email.

[beth]

myspace
bebo
hi5
sex.

that's it.

[uh huh her]

i cba listing, just the usual;
myspace
msn etc.
bebo isn't yet... i think it's getting removed cos someone made a hate bebo about this girl in year 11, and people kept going on it in class ahar. the only seriously stupid thing they've blocked is google images. and even on all the foreign google sites it's blocked.

[,Jess,]

Everything is banned a our school they have people monitoring the computers & if they see you on something that isn't school work it gets blocked and you get banned. Wikipedia is even banned because this guy tried to edit a page on weapons of mass destruction lol

[Judge Judy]

Everything except for game sites are blocked.

Our school is linked to a system in our county which sends logs to the school to see who is on sites they aint suppose to be.

[Nick.]

MSN, MSN Messenger (All online ones; meebo, e-buddy, iloveim etc.), anything to do with Pete Wentz, all vBulletin forums, alot of forums, spyware, news, racial, hate speak, warez, spyware...

[Jordie]

Everything except for game sites are blocked.

the normal stuff ;

msn,
games like mousebreaker.com, etc.
bebo,
myspace.

sucks, but i guess it's the law or whatever :/

oh & youtube was blocked not long ago aswell.

[Luckyrare]

At my school you have to wait 30 seconds if its a new website if no one has ever gone onto that page while its filtered. Ebay isnt filtered yet Uploadz is, annoying.

[Dan2nd]

yeah like others have said:

Sex sites
Games
Hotmail/MSN
Myspace
Chatrooms etc etc

My mates did find some sex sites that arn't blocked though and sent them around the e-mail system and got themselfs a 3 week internet ban

[cocaine]

[Caution]

msn, sex sites, bebo, myspace, the usual.

[Eoin]

www.foxyproxy.net (http://www.foxyproxy.net)

Why doesnt he die when he falls like over 500 ft

[:Jamie]

Everythings almost blocked but I just find a good unblocker then it works.

[Barkseh2131]

The technicians always watch what people are on in our colege and they can take over your screen so it's hard to get away with things.

[Charlie]

At college, it was game sites, ebay, and probably sex sites. And, if the site had a swear word on it, they blocked it, so you couldn't it.

You could get onto hotmail & googlemail though, and most people used googlemail chat to chat to others and so on, and i've heard that you could access msn some how.

[lAdmire]

They blocked youtube.com, MySpace, FaceBook, Tagged.

We can still get to MSN because some people e-mail homework to MSN && they can print it off @ school.

[Moozo]

Recently someone went on **** or something so they filtered everything under the sun, even google, and THEIR OWN SCHOOL WEBSITE ROFLS. Yeah, even if I tried to go on any random website it wouldnt work. Even if no-one had ever heard of it before. Even my own personal website is blocked, and everyone just moans and complains to the teachers about this whole filter lark. Meh, proxy for me ;]

[the wombats]

lol @ how strict some schools are, i can get on myspace and ****. i can even go on msn. :rolleyes:

[louder]

well theres a "red zone", a "yellow zone" and a "green zone"

red zone, you can only go on sites that teahcers have listed
yellow, games + myspace is blocked
green, everythings unblocked (except pr0nz etc)

+ i tend to do work in my ict lessons s:
i'm on it in school atm but that's because i'm in tutorial, it's free activity + i'm in yellow zone + there's nout to go on. (i'd proxy but then i'd get moved to red.)

[omgDAN!]

use my site www.silentshout.info
and at my school loads of stuff is blocked so we just find foreign ones that they haven't blocked yet, or use proxies.

[:Jamie]

pretty obvious on the stuff that gets blocked..
