Moreton Bay College is a P-12 Girls' School on the eastern outskirts of Brisbane. Three years ago the decision was taken at executive level that filtering was not the solution to our students' cybersafety. Infact, stringent filtering was proving counter productive, as many new and potentially useful Web 2.0 sites were being blocked. The proliferation of 3G devices and the constant battle against proxy bypass sites also meant that filtering as a solution was doomed to failure. This presentation will look at the steps the school has taken to foster a climate of digital citizenship with its students in preparation for the schools' 1-to-1 implementation that began this year.
