YouTube and the iPads
The technology department would like to share the following information regarding students and how they should access YouTube in order to be filtered. We have come to learn that accessing YouTube through ClassLink does not provide a filtered experience if the students are not connected to the UACS network, for example while at home. For this reason we have deleted the YouTube app within Classlink. Likewise, the YouTube specific App does not allow us to filter YouTube for students. In order to enforce a filtered experience we are now requiring students to access YouTube directly from a browser like Safari or Chrome. We can ensure 24/7 filtering this way. What students will soon see is a “weblink” or shortcut on their iPads that will launch the Safari browser and take them to the YouTube site.
