IN Students Work Around MySpace Block

It took students in Fort Wayne one day to hack their way back to blogging Web sites after technicians blocked them on school computers.

Fort Wayne Community Schools officials say that blogging not only distracts students, but makes them vulnerable to online predators.

Students had been able to log on to popular sites including Facebook and MySpace during school, though they were not supposed to do so.

Technicians started blocking the sites Thursday, but students had found ways around the new blocks by Friday.

Students at Fort Wayne and other school districts use the sites to communicate online with friends, make new friends online and post personal information and photos.
