The major design difference is that by designing the access around logins the Advanced filter permits the filter administration by individual. Based on a data base of users, the Advanced iWayPatrol permits the District to filter the students, while not filtering the teachers. Not only does this permit the filter to be used to focus on legal access issues related to the age of students, it permits the teachers to review the filter process itself to assure that good sites are not inappropriately blocked. Non-filtering of teachers has the added advantage that teachers can work closely with advanced students on even the most problematic of topics. The Advance iWayPatrol system also permits the use of pre-reviewed sites.
Some school districts select to use an access-only approach for very young students.
Students whose access is limited in this way can only access the pre-approved sites. The age dependent site selection, elementary, middle school and high school can be assigned by individual. By using a login approach for Internet access, the administrative suspension or termination of Internet access privileges can be controlled. The Advance iWayPatrol filter has several administrative features and capabilities. There is a building code in the user data base record.
