YouTube for Schools Launches

Many schools block YouTube in the classroom. This is a shame since there is so much good educational content between the Mentos and backyard wrestling videos. Today, YouTube now provides a solution to this dilemma.

As reported by ubergizmo YouTube for Schools is a network setting that school administrators can turn on to grant access only to the educational content from YouTube EDU. This means videos from over 600 of YouTube's education partners like the Smithsonian, TED, Steve Spangler Science and Numberphile. In addition to limiting access to specific videos, Google has also worked together with teachers to put together over 300 playlists broken out by subject and by grade level.

Remember that Khan Academy got their start on YouTube…
