  2. Essential Question 1) What tools do I have to make sure my child’s devices are filtered and safe from inappropriate content?

  3. A Shared Vision Great schools think globally to prepare students for success in the digital age. To achieve learning at the depth and complexity necessary for students to be competitive, teachers must constantly design learning opportunities where students are authentically engaged. We must transform schools by lifting the bureaucratic restrictions that have entrapped educators in an outdated model. Together, we will collaborate to purposefully design a 21st century learning organization.

  5. Tool 1 At School- LISD has a high quality internet filter. Any device on our network is filtered. Any student trying to access filtered content will be blocked.

  6. Tool 2 At home, subscribe to a high quality filter.

  7. Tool 3 Utilize the iPad parent restrictions. Under the Settings Icon, tap "General" on the left, tap "Restrictions" on the right. You will see an "Enable Restrictions" button on the top. Tap this and it will ask you for a 4 digit pass code. This is a pass code you should not share with your student. Once a pass code is established, you may set restrictions for everything from movie ratings to explicit language. We recommend the following settings: Deleting Apps: turn off Siri: turn off Music and Podcasts: explicit off Movies: G only TV: TV Y, TV-Y7, TV G only Books: Explicit Sexual Content off Apps: 4+ and 9+ only In-App Purchase: off Require Password: Immediately After setting restrictions, simply exit the screen. When you go back into restrictions, your changes should be saved, and it will prompt you to put in your secret pass code to make changes. Again, do not share this pass code with your child.

  8. Tool 4 District Proxy Server What is a proxy server? A proxy server, also known as a "proxy" or "application level gateway", is a computer that acts as a gateway between a local network (e.g., all the computers at one company or in one building) and a larger-scale network such as the Internet. Proxy servers provide increased performance and security. In some cases, they monitor employees' use of outside resources. A proxy server works by intercepting connections between sender and receiver. All incoming data enters through one port and is forwarded to the rest of the network via another port. By blocking direct access between two networks, proxy servers make it much more difficult for hackers to get internal addresses and details of a private network. On any network, student devices run back through our Proxy Server. So, if a student is at Starbucks on a district device, they are still filtered by LISD’s filter.

  9. Tampering with Restrictions If… students don’t know their devices restriction code… and they don’t reset or delete their proxies, and your home internet is filtered, we have done a great job protecting our kids. But… students are digital natives, we are digital immigrants! They are very smart, and sometimes don’t make great choices.

  10. Tampering with Restrictions It is possible for a student to "reset" their district issued iPad in an effort to circumnavigate the district filter. To make sure your child has not tampered with the district settings, please periodically open Safari and enter the following internet address.  http://www.lisd.net/block If the iPad has not been tampered with and filters are working, a red screen with white letters stating "LISD Access Denied" will appear. If you don't get a block, the iPad has been tampered with. This is a direct violation of the Acceptable Use Policy for LISD. If this happens, please notify the Assistant Principal or Librarian immediately.

  11. IOS 7 Update We recently found out there is a problem with IOS 7 removing the supervision and proxy profiles from many district iPads.  If the proxy is gone, then the iPad is NOT filtered at home (unless you have a home filter).   Apple has confirmed this issue and is working on a fix.  However, this can be 1-3 weeks away and we do not know what the fix will entail.  How would you know? Again, try the http://www.lisd.net/block and see if you get this… If you don’t, send the iPad into your Assistant Principal or Librarian. They can reset the iPad to original settings, but this will wipe out all apps and student work on the iPad.

  12. A Shared Vision LISD and the Hebron Elementary Schools are committed to providing a safe digital environment for our students. Thank you for partnering with us and helping us keep our kids safe.
