FILTERING CHILDREN’S ACCESS TO THE INTERNET AT SCHOOL Kathryn Moyle, Charles Darwin University, Australia Countries differ in their
policy responses to the question: “Should children’s access to the
Internet be filtered?” Countries such as the UK, USA and Australia
do filter online content with software on servers, and countries
such as Denmark, Sweden and The Netherlands, do not. The differences
between these respective countries’ school policies are
philosophical and political. This paper discusses intersections
between the aims and purposes of schools, the political economy and
the use of electronic filters on the Internet, for educational
purposes. The paper concludes with a reflection of the implications
of these issues for school leaders. |
