[Technical] Google Images

[Grant Frazer]

Hi All,

 

I would like to investigate how schools are dealing with google images.
At present we have in place a ban on google images which has been active
for four years.  This ban came into place due to the inappropriate
images that were being displayed whilst the students did relatively
innocent searches.   There has been a fair bit of discussion at Fintona
on google images and allowing it for students as it is perceived to be
safer to use than it was four years ago.  What I would like to determine
for this discussion here is how other schools have addressed google
images, mainly do they perceive it safe/ unsafe.  If unsafe what
alternatives do they recommend?

 

Thanks.
