Schools today have numerous tools at their disposal to help protect children from the perils of the Internet. Acceptable Use Policies, web filters, URL monitors and even private intranets are all intended to block the bad, while enabling our children to find the best on the web. Nevertheless, as hard as schools try to protect kids, students intentionally, or unintentionally, continue to find inappropriate or time wasting material. To circumvent the protection measures mandated by the government, some students have turned to Anonymous Proxy servers, which allow them to surf any web site without detection. One new weapon in the battle is White Listing, which blocks all web sites except those that teachers want students to access. White Listing is showing success at the classroom level by not only protecting students from inappropriate web use, but it is also increasing available time on task and saving schools valuable bandwidth.
