Here is some clarification about the Approve button which you see underneath Youtube videos when using your school account. This is relevant in that the restricted mode has blocked access to some videos that teachers assigned to students.
When assigning a video for students to watch on Youtube, you can ensure they will be able to access it by clicking the Approve button below the video.
Explanation
The district enables Restricted mode on student accounts. Videos that are flagged as unsuitable for kids by Youtube uploaders or by Google's filter will not be accessible by students using their school account.
Filtering systems are not perfect. It is possible that an unsuitable video was not flagged by the uploader and was not caught by Google's filter. These videos will be accessible, even if you did not click Approve.
It is also possible that a video has been flagged, but is okay for students. Clicking the Approve button will override the restricted flag allowing students to access the video.
IMPORTANT: Please be sure to watch the entire video before clicking Approve.
