This feels off-topic-y... ...am I a weird person for having never desired to play Minecraft during school because I want to learn and get an education? -prepares self- My college doesn't block anything as far as I know... However, my instructors and professors always mention that it may, so my guess is that many colleges do block things like Facebook and Minecraft. Yay me? I'd instantly get noticed and in trouble if I was on those things during class, lol.
Nothing is blocked, and everyone has their own laptop. (not school laptops, personal laptops for school use) Blocking everything fixes nothing, it just makes people spend more time trying to bypass the blocking. In the end the students get what they want, and they spent more time getting to that point. Which is less time spent on schoolwork. :b
My school doesn't really block anything on the laptops or if you bring in an iPad like I do. But, if you're in Computer Class, damn! Those teachers block every damn thing on the web but YouTube, your online grades and the school website!
I've never tried anything but Espn.. I see kids in my grade playing minecraft in the middle of a school assembly and stuff so.. I just get all my work done in school then game at home not on my laptop so I don't get in trouble.. (I'm kind of nerdy on my grades) I like straight A's) (I have straight A's in the hardest class in my school and only 3 people got an A this semester in that class.. And yes I'm in Middle School.
My school has 18+ content blocked and social media websites. But minecraft.net is unblocked so I just download it and play MC during my Tech101 period. Luckily this is only Tech101 so when a teacher comes over and asks what I'm doing I just say "I programmed this game using javascript and am testing it" they're ok with it. xD (Passes with an A)
My school is extremely strict against ALL technology. For computers, there is only 1 website which is not blocked, and that's school email (USB sticks aren't allowed :/). Cell phones and any other small mobile devices (even MP3 players) aren't allowed on the PROPERTY during school hours (although everyone has them, and all staff knows), and special permission from the vice-principle is needed to bring a laptop to school, for "educational" purposes only. Something that is good, though, is that many teachers aren't strict against having cell phones in class, and some will allow you to take it out and check it if it's ringing.. While others will take it away, and you might get it back at the end of the day :/ Yep, that's my school... Isn't it great? Michael
I guess... My school is basically strict on inappropriate ads or other stuff which blocks the whole website.. It once blocked Wikipedia (the thing that blocks it is mecguard which blocks sites if your on the schools internet) (one time I was on my phone on the school's wifi and it blocked forums for inappropriate things )
Anything involving 'game' or 'social media' or anything like that is blocked from my school's wifi. Everyone uses their phones and turn their wifi off, using LTE.
Depends on how capable the network administrator is, lol. Most aren't that very capable. If 12 years olds can bypass it you're not doing it right :b So yeh, you can probably bypass it.
All sites apart from official education sites are blocked. If any site is needed for research lessons which is apart from ICT, so not very often the teacher will personally unblock sites, nontheless there is always this one nerdy tech guy in my school that works there and uses a program to spy on all students at all times. It's ridicolously stupid.
