Common questions
Your students already love YouTube.
The classroom can't afford what comes with it.
YouTube was built for consumer engagement — not education. Every time a teacher opens it, they're importing problems that have nothing to do with the lesson.
YouTube in the Classroom
Risky- Ads — including alcohol, gambling and political content
- "Up Next" sends students off-topic before you notice
- Open comments section with no moderation
- Students can search for anything — no content controls
- Many videos are unofficial uploads — copyright risk for your school
- Viewing data owned by Google, not your school
