Access in schools

SchoolTube has traction with a broad base of the American learning community. All student-generated content is teacher moderated. As of 2013, there are registered SchoolTube users in over 50,000 K-12 schools in the United States who are uploading, on average, 1,000 videos a day.[1] Most schools have blocked commercial video platforms from the classroom due to inappropriate content. SchoolTube has been granted this access due to a safe moderation process that ensures all user-generated content is appropriate for the K-12 environment.[2] SchoolTube is endorsed by many of the top national education associations.[1] Some top endorsers include the American Association of School Librarians and the National Science Teachers Association.

Moderation process

SchoolTube's content moderation process is what makes it a safe platform for the classroom. When a student decides to upload a video, a teacher or administrator from that student's school must approve the video before it will be made live on the site. This allows schools to create strong video-sharing communities. Schools also have the option to limit the video viewing to its own school. This moderation process has led students to create higher-quality work.[3]

gollark: Plus, the repository hosts high levels of intellectual discussion regarding cybersecurity.
