Mukmuk the Marmot

June 30th. I usually do the second to last week of regular classes as my GPS week, as the kids are too wound up to do real work, and then the last week is for exam study. The person in charge of the restrictions has no boss or supervisor, unless it was the school board. So realistically, no. We have a head of technology, who really doesn't answer to other people. We faced cuts this year, and many of us were hoping the position would go, and leave the techs. At this point, the next time I see a tech I'll ask him for help, as he's more likely to find me a solution... if it's within his power. The google translator is working as a rough work around, thank you to the poster who suggested it. Until I can persuade the tech into another option, as least it's something.

Nope, every geocaching page without a facebook connection is fine. I'm a teacher, the person in charge of blocking sites actually has encouraged us to use GPS and the site. I'd also had this problem with the Vancouver Olympics page, but if I managed to hit stop quickly enough, could still use it. Try as I might today, that didn't work. When there's content on a page that gets blocked, the entire page gets taken over with the blocked message. It's fairly standard in schools. Unfortunately, I can't do anything about it. I can't tell the district who to hire, and he's my friend's ex, so I don't think he'll listen to me. Has anyone come up with workaround solutions so that I can still view cache pages? Any Firefox add-ons that allow me to block specific sites when I want to (I'd like to use facebook on my netbook at home!)? Thanks for any help...

I teach grade 6, and every year I do a GPS/Geocaching unit. It's a great end of year activity, the kids enjoy it, and a few each year persuade their parents to let them buy a GPS and take up the hobby. All good! However, today I was teaching my lesson, and showing how I go onto a cache page, and look at info on the cache. When I tried to load the page, because our school blocks facebook, the entire page vanishes and an ACCESS DENIED message appears. I cannot view a single cache page. I'd really like to be able show my class what a cache entry looks like, but can't. I was frustrated, my 12 year olds were frustrated. Any options or workarounds?
