Why We Need Animoto

A safe web 2.0 program that will enhance


learning and creativity
by Lauren Brantley

What do we have in place to protect


our children?
We have the filters for a purpose, to
protect our children. We have laws
in place to protect our children.

A good law that serves a


purpose
TITLE XVII--CHILDREN'S INTERNET PROTECTION
SEC. 1701. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``Children's Internet Protection Act''.

Lets Look at the Law-Is it serving


our purpose?
(1) TECHNOLOGY PROTECTION MEASURE.--The term ``technology protection measure'' means a specific
technology that blocks or filters Internet access to visual depictions that are-(A) obscene, as that term is defined in section 1460 of title 18, United States Code;
(B) child pornography, as that term is defined in section 2256 of title 18, United States Code; or
(C) harmful to minors.

Does this law apply to Animoto?

We can allow Animoto but we need


your help
(3) DISABLING DURING CERTAIN USE.--An administrator, supervisor, or
person authorized by the responsible authority under paragraph (1) may disable
the technology protection measure concerned to enable access for bona fide
research or other lawful purposes.

Our lawful purpose is creativity and educational purposes


for our students.
