I like writing this blog much more than I thought I would. It isn't as difficult as I thought that it would be. I thought that it would be hard to stay up to date with the blog and to stay interested in it. I have found, though, that not only do I enjoy my blog, but I really like reading other people's blogs too. I like that I can write a blog post and immediately after someone can post feedback. It is very easy for me to continue to update my blog because my topic really excites me.
I like my topic a lot and I do think that it is something I could blog about for four more weeks. The number one thing that excites me about this topic is that so many people have so many different opinions on censorship. I like to read what other people think, and I like the ideas that they inspire. I would like to learn more about the technological side of my topic. Since schools allow Internet access to students, I want to learn more about what they block students from seeing. I wonder if the books that schools ban can be accessed online at the school. I also wonder if all sites containing information about the book are blocked. It seems like it would be rather impossible to block ALL the sites about a particular book.
In the next couple of weeks I hope to explore more about the Internet sites that are blocked in public schools.I have found a blog that I enjoy reading, that I will continue to follow, about this subject. I would also like to learn more about what my audience thinks about the censorship debate. Is it right or wrong? Why or why not?
You raise a very interesting point about being able to look up banned books on the internet at school. I immediately thought of the Nook, or the Ipad, a device in which one can read books without having to buy the actually tangible book. I would assume the online library of (banned) books is tremendous for those kinds of things.

I like where you are going with this subject. I think it would also be interesting to see how much support the bans get from librarians. At my high school the librarians had a computer program that allowed them to see the what websites students were using, mainly used to keep students from getting around the MySpace block. Blocking sites is one thing, but would a librarian actually stop a student from looking at an unblocked website covering "banned" material?
