![]() Last year in Spanish class, for example, we turned in our video projects on YouTube. The point I’m trying to make is that blocking YouTube causes more problems than it solves. Is this what you want, Blue Valley?Įver since YouTube was unblocked for teachers, many have been using it almost daily to show their educational videos that prove to be considerably helpful to learning the subject, yet students apparently can’t be trusted with this responsibility. So instead of doing something productive during JAG like I had hoped, I ended up just mindlessly staring at the ceiling for the remainder of the block because I could not use the site that is supposedly disruptive to the learning environment until I got home. ![]() I was working on math homework during JAG, and one of the best ways I learn anything math or science related that I do not understand is through “Khan Academy”, which basically has a video lecture for most high school math and science classes that many teachers I’ve had have recommended to me. It was just the other week when I was sitting in a class where we were working on separate projects and a teacher told a student that the only way he’d be able to do his would either be at home or to actually sit outside the room on his phone where YouTube would work. Blocking YouTube is blocking any video on school grounds may it be for educational purposes or not. ![]() Nearly every educational website that has a video of some sort uses YouTube for their videos. But no one really knows why this outdated block is still in place. YouTube has been blocked at BV West and other BV schools for as long as I can remember.
