Block Site is a very useful app to keep yourself productive online when using google online. It can block out not productive sites that you don’t need, like online games that kids should not be playing in class. Block site can do blacklists or whitelists which you can personally set up. You can redirect from websites so if you are on a website that is not allowed it will take you to a different website instead. Also you can set up a message so if someone is blocked from a website it will say a certain message, this is helpful when you want to tell a kid or adult why they cannot be on a website or to taunt them. You can also set up certain times a kid is allowed on a certain website or if they need to be on that website at a certain time and no other website. Block site is an ultimate tool for staying productive instead of doing random things all day long. It can block out most websites but sometimes it does not work. I recommend using it because it can keep you on track and raise your productivity to 100%.
