NYC Schools Ban Work-Related Blog Address

SignatureThe NYC Department of Education has told Lisa Nielsen, the PD manager for ed tech, to stop putting her blog URL in her email address, even though her blog is about her work (Professional Blog URLs in NYC DOE Signature). As you'll see, Neilsen is pissed. It seems like every district has at least one idiotic-sounding mandate or ban, and now New York City has a new one.  (The cell phone ban is another.)

Thank you for bringing attention to this issue. I hope this attention may help bring upon a reversal of a dangerous mandate that promotes fear and contributes to squashing the valuable voice of educators.

Though it has significant downsides, I'm not so sure the cell phone ban is idiotic.
