[info-tech] Electronic Devices
Looking for some good advice from you smarter than myself. We are trying to block the student iPod Touch's from being able to get to facebook and myspace and ect. If someone can help me with that, that would be great. Also if you would be willing to share your electronic device policy that your school has could you please email it to me personally at mmuel...@emmetsburg.k12.ia.us or you can post it on the info-tech list if you would like. But my big thing is blocking them sites on iPod touch's.

RE: [info-tech] Electronic Devices
Do you have the MAC addresses of those iPod touches? You could try setting up a bogus DHCP Scope that goes nowhere and entering them as reservations. I created a DHCP Scope I call the Dead Zone and added a few as reservations. Your DNS should give you the MAC address of those units. Of course if they are able to self assign their IP your in trouble. Seems to work. Otherwise I am clueless. -Original Message- From: info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us [mailto:info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us] On Behalf Of Mitch Mueller Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2010 12:47 PM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: [info-tech] Electronic Devices Looking for some good advice from you smarter than myself.

RE: [info-tech] Electronic Devices
Ok, first identify what you are wanting... Cheap Fast Good Pick two of the above. Cheap and good would be blocking everything but your own equipment from accessing the wireless network by MAC address or other means. Cheap and fast would be running something like openDNS and using their filtering. Fast and Good would be installing a content filtering Firewall. You get the idea.

RE: [info-tech] Electronic Devices
You can only control your network and Lightspeed does block facebook There are several ways to skin that cat. Since you are trying to block devices connecting to your wireless network you can block by IP range. Under the Policies tab in Policy Assignments you can enter a IP range and assign a content filter policy that blocks the forum-social_networking category or where ever to have put facebook Depending on your content filter policy you will have to make sure to block non http protocols to blocked categories this will stop student and staff from using https to login to facebook There is going to be a Lightspeed training course in Jefferson this summer Mark Murphy -Original Message- From: info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us [mailto:info-tech-ow...@aea8.k12.ia.us] On Behalf Of Mitch Mueller Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2010 1:25 PM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: RE: [info-tech] Electronic Devices Well we use Lightspeed TTC for our content filter but it doesn't seem to block it.

Re: [info-tech] Electronic Devices
I didn't intend for that to sound a snarky as it did, so let me rephrase it... If we spent half the time educating teachers/students/parents as we did plugging holes our jobs would be a lot less hectic. I have gotten to the point now, if someone points out a proxy site that is unblocked, I just tell the staff to have the kid get off the site and watch them, end of story. If I wanted to I could spend my day tracking down proxies and blocking sites, but that would suck so I choose not too. Karl H.
