Eanes ISD limits internet access on iPads for elementary school students

The school district completely revamped what is available to its youngest students after a 6-year-old was able to view pornographic images just by searching for terms like “naked girl.”    Dr. Kristy Sailors, the district’s director of instructional technology tells KXAN…. she is confident they wont get into anything we don’t want them to get into.

This year, students at Eanes’ six elementary schools will be issued what administrators call “green iPads,” stripped-down versions of what their older peers will be able to use.  Instead of building up firewalls to try to block everything they don’t want kids to access, the technology department started with a clean slate and only added what they do want.
