Youtube in schools

[Theldron]

Hi all,

 

I am interested to find out what other schools do regarding Youtube? Do you completely unblock or block and white-list videos on request?

 

We are just setting up RMUnify and User based filtering with SWGFL, so trying to look at the best way to deal with it.

 

Cheers

User based filtering, staff and selected students authenticate via LGFL (London)

We use the google apps controls. So y7-11 get restricted access - meant to be only educational content. Year 12 & 13 get moderate access and staff get unrestricted. We can allow videos and channels as administrators for all levels if required.

 

All user have to be logged into their google account or they get default restricted access.

We're a girls' secondary in Melbourne (yr 7 - 12) and we've had unblocked YouTube for about 4 years with no issues.

Although we're not a girls secondary, we are in the same boat.

 

Only issues we had was maxing out our broadband but this was on top of many other factors. I'd seriously consider a whitelist at some point but not my call to make.

Primary - User based filtering, staff access only.

Secondary - Due to decision by DH and Head of ICT (Subject) at the time, allowed to all to use for Media studies, etc. If any abuse students get Internet bans.

Staff - Allowed

Students - Blocked

 

Simple as that really.

Same here.

Staff allowed, can approve videos

Students - Youtube only allowed during lesson times in strict restricted mode

[duzzie]

Staff - Full Access

Students - No Access

 

Students will always find a way though if they want to, we just try make it difficult for them.

[Jehanzeb]

Staff: Access

Students: No access

 

However I would like to have a user based access, we use Google Education services. Just need to know how can we achieve user based filteration for teachers/TAs/PPAs and guest really. We've already created sub organisations in Google Admin so it's based on Teachers and Students etc

 

Kindest regards
