Website Filtering
Alamogordo Public Schools (APS) uses Deledao ActiveInstruct™ and Google Workspace for Education Plus to filter internet content, ensuring students only access appropriate online resources. These filtering systems help block access to websites not suitable for K-12 students.
APS has been providing internet filtering for many years as instruction has gone increasingly online. While the internet offers valuable educational resources, it also contains harmful content. Filtering software helps to create a safer online environment for students, though it's important to note that no filter can be 100% effective.
