Aug. 31. We are blocked

2009-08-31T18:46:00.000-07:00

Today, as I attempted to update the classroom agenda, I found that my access to the blog was blocked. In an effort to keep students safe on the internet at school, U-46 has blocking software that blocks a large number of sites for various reasons.
Up until today, the site I need to reach to update this blog was open. It was actually the tech support people who pointed me to Blogspot last year as an acceptable site to post our agendas.
As of today, I guess it is no longer acceptable.
I will be working with the tech department to either get this site unblocked, or to find another place we can post our agendas, but for the time being, posted agendas will not be available.
Thanks,
Mr. C.
