‘YouTube for Schools’ Lets Schools Access Free Educational Videos

Youtube has developed YouTube for Schools, a network setting that school administrators can turn on to grant access only to the educational content from YouTube EDU. Using Youtube for Schools you can access thousands of free high quality educational videos on YouTube in a controlled environment. Teachers can choose from the hundreds of thousands of videos on YouTube EDU created by more than 600 partners like the Smithsonian, TED, Steve Spangler Science, and Numberphile.

Youtube has also worked with teachers to put together more than 300 playlists broken out by subject — Math, Science, Social Studies, and English Language Arts — and by grade level. Teachers can find them listed out at youtube.com/teachers.

[advt]YouTube for Schools is just the latest initiative in Youtube’s ongoing efforts to make YouTube a truly valuable educational resource, and to inspire learners around the world with programs like YouTube Space Lab.
