Google’s YouTube has launched YouTube for Schools for providing educational videos to School Students while limiting access to other YouTube content.
School Teachers are very much interested to use Educational Videos in YouTube in their classrooms. But the Schools used to restrict the access to the YouTube site as the School Admins are concerning that students will be distracted by the latest music video or cute cat or inappropriate videos.
To handle this issue, YouTube has come up with this idea of launching YouTube for Schools.
School administrators can turn on to grant access only to the educational content from YouTube EDU using a network setting in the YouTube for Schools.
YouTube provides free, unlimited access to tens of thousands of videos of high quality educational content.
Students can learn from more than 400,000 educational videos, from well-known organizations like Stanford, PBS and TED, and from up-and-coming YouTube partners with millions of views, like Khan Academy, Steve Spangler Science and numberphile. Schools can also customize their YouTube for Schools experience, adding videos that are only viewable within their school network.

YouTube is worked with many teachers to put together more than 300 playlists broken out by subject — Math, Science, Social Studies, and English Language Arts — and by grade level. Teachers can find them listed out at youtube.com/teachers.
