Global Chalkboard Meets CIPA Filtering Requirements Test

Information about technology protection measures and BASCOM's Global Chalkboard CIPA filter Whether your school receives funding from Title II-D or E-rate, the Children's Internet Protection Act requires schools to implement a technology protection measure that will "block or filter" access to certain types of material on the Internet. With so many technology protection measure options available to schools, it is recommended that a product is used that allows your school to maximize the benefit of the Internet. Technology is available that is flexible, easy to use, compatible with all computer systems, fully customizable by schools, and creates productive learning zones of Web sites.
