Maybe the little daqrlings had found an unblocked proxy to run it through :mad:

we are in Cumbria. we have blocked it through our own proxy now and also contact CLEO.

Thanks!!

It's blocked here in sunny Rishton

I wish we could access it here! I think as long as its managed correctly its a useful tool in education.

You can get 3 unfiltered IP addresses from CLEO to allow access to sites like Youtube.

Yup been around for a while that has, certainly in Cumbria that you can have some less filtered IPs for Staff and Admin use I believe is the terms for them. They allow access to Facebook, Messengers, Bebo, Youtube etc, stuff that shouldnt be too harmful for teachers / administration etc but no good for kids.

That is true, and what we have done is brought something called "clipbank" which provides the staff with video's etc to use in there lesson's. yh i know its nothing like youtube but its a start i suppose.

We have the clipbank series from when they were available on DVD. I seen the latest offering at BETT and I thought it was good, but I couldn't justify the spend on a product that included all the clips we already have paid for.... yes with the added bonus of new footage but still not worth it for us for another couple of years.

Oh right, i really dont know how much it cost our head of IT just brought it and i was just told some guy is coming to install this and he needs some space in the rack to put a server.

Seems to work well, but as i say i dont know how much it cost. but its good anyhow :)

Is an annual cost - about £5k a year rings a bell - I can't find the info here with me. I agree its Good but pricey, similar to the clipbank stuff.

We got this with it aswell Espresso Education - the UK’s leading digital curriculum service provider

Hmm what goes for Cumbria does not necessarily go for Lancs I have found. I shall enquire anyways. I am sick of googling for things, only to find the answer is blocked because it's a forum or something.

Could you stick your own proxy on one of those addresses and control filtering for teachers or the whole school?
