YouTube, with all of its online content, is a tremendous tool for teaching and learning. The simple act of providing a video to a student that can be accessed anytime and anywhere allows the student to review course material as often as necessary and at their own pace
- Teachers can create playlists which collect together videos on a particular topic.
- Teachers can upload their own videos or screencasts in an area separate from their own private use of YouTube.
- Students can upload their own video-based schoolwork to their islux account.
- Teachers can collect student videos on a topic in a single playlist
- Teachers or students can comment on student work
- Teachers can share videos (such as screencasts of comments on essays) privately with individual students.
To help our students stay safe and use YouTube appropriately, we have developed a few expectations. These expectations, along with a getting started guide, will be sent to all Upper School students soon.
- When using your ISL account, YouTube should be used for school related videos, not personal videos.
- Videos should be uploaded as unlisted or private.
- Comments (if enabled) on videos should be positive and mature.
- Copyright should be respected - do not upload videos with copyrighted material, unless you have permission.
If you have any questions or would like help integrating YouTube in your lessons, please reach out to us.
Steve and Matt
