Education, From The Capitol To The Classroom

New YouTube Site Offers Only Educational Content, Allows Schools To Drop Filters

    YouTube has now made educational content available in a portion of its site that won’t be blocked by school internet filters. From KQED’s MindShift:

    For schools that choose to opt in to the YouTube for Schools Program, YouTube will redirect Web users who go to the site straight over to youtube.com/education. On this portion of the site, all comments are disabled and the only related videos are those that can be found in the Education portal of the site. The option has been created for parents, teachers, and administrators who fear children will be exposed to inappropriate materials on the site.
