PSD YouTube Policies
We allow YouTube for all students on a filtered basis using YouTube for Schools. YouTube's algorithm gives us a good start on only allowing educationally appropriate videos, but teachers can tweak by approving videos or channels as per this video guide.
Students in K-5 may only access YouTube on their PSD devices between 8AM-8PM, Monday through Friday. This includes YouTube videos added to Schoology, Google Slides, most Edpuzzles, and Nearpod lessons.
