Web Filter • The filter built into your device will block certain sites in school, at home, and anywhere else you access the Internet (library, McDonald’s, etc.). • For example, social media sites like Facebook will be blocked. Google searches will be filtered to show only appropriate content. • You may not try and access sites that are blocked by the filter; that is a violation of the Student Acceptable Use Policy.
