Description

Our students are exposed to advertisements on a daily basis. Often, the products and companies being advertised are not age and school-appropriate. Even when they are, advertisements shown on YouTube and other web pages can have a significant, negative impact on the minds of youth. Therefore, we should do everything in our power to protect students and staff from these messages impacting our subconscious mind and behavior. Put simply, we need to be able to block advertisements while showing videos and other content in our curricula. This Chrome web extension allows users to block ads and protect our staff and students without cost and without compromising ones security. Please restore this ability

See every page you open 2. See all the data on the page 3. Change the data on the page To ensure district web resources are not impacted, additional management of maintaining custom district filtering for all district web services would need to be implemented, in addition to currently implemented content filtering. This would need to be maintained for any and all production, development, and trial services on all district devices.
