At each technology conventions I attend, most often than not, the no. 1 complain of teachers is that "sites are blocked" in school. That can be very annoying to know that educational web resources are blocked.
In our school, we were able to use M86Vusafe as a venue to show YouTube videos without the harm of seeing inappropriate videos and ads. M86Security is our school's web filtering service provider and they created M86Vusafe as a portal for safe video watching.
I am the school's M86Vusafe administrator and I could invite teachers via email to join in and create an account. This gives them access to create their own libraries of education rich videos that they could show in their classroom without being blocked by the filtering software. Each video is tagged and grouped according to the age level where it is appropriate for viewing.
So now, YouTube website is still blocked by our filtering software however, with this new portal teachers could show Science & Math videos created by Khan Academy, and other classroom supplemental videos such as YouTube/Teachers.
