School it networks are depressingly, necessarily (with reluctant acceptance) and justifiably restrictive. However, what is there to gain from a web browser that has "programmer" disabled to the extent that it is not possible to view a web page source code???
Thanks to a previous life before school, remembered some old web sites that surprisingly continue to exist: old version (love the "tag-line" because newer is not always better(!)); portable programs apps. The latter has enabled a return to use java, courtesy of the appropriate run time environment for microsoft. It is a pity that the wora concept is not wholly successful, but thankfully citc is now able to use a certain favourite text editor, along with some scientific software (another topic for another post, perhaps).
Why bother, one may ask. In a world where school it "support" is now reduced to minimal human labour cost of following instructions of software licence holders, some semblance of teacher autonomy in thought about appropriate resources to develop, is better achieved beyond the restrictive corporate software system.
