Technical Problems With Websites

Recently our school has had technical problems with websites that us as media studies need to use as our resources. It lead to me doing an hours worth of work on this blogger to press publish and then to say that the internet page could not be displayed therefore i lost my whole hours work, Also we cannot get onto other resources such as Scribd etc. The IT department are working on changing the access rights so we can use the sites we need. It means for now we have to do a lot of the work at home and then it cannot be accessed in school. But the IT department have said that it should take about 3 weeks to get our resources up and running.
