It is hard knowing what a great tool this is and what it can be used for when your school district is not very fast at moving into the 21st century when it comes to the use of technology. Yes tagxedo is blocked and I am working to get it unblocked.
I explained to our tech department that I was using it for a grad school project and I needed it as soon as possible. So on Friday the email went back and forth and they said it was unblocked. When I pulled it up did it work NO...so they sent someone over. Did he get it to work NO, so here I sit. I thought I would share with you what I feel like using Tagxedo:
Wish me Luck
That is very frustrating, and I share your problem. My district blocks EVERYTHING, and refuse to unblock for any reason. "District policy, blah blah blah...". What I have done is pay $20 a month to have my iPhone be a hot spot, then run my MacBook off my cell phone. Then I can project the internet through my MacBook and iPhone. Definitely not the best set-up, as it is Teacher-Showing not Student-Driven, but it is the best I can do. Hope you get your district to unblock Tagxedo soon :)
