Backstory: In November of 2024, the Chief Privacy Officer of the New York State Education Department sent out a letter to all School Superintendents and Data Privacy Officers notifying the educational agencies that they had until March 2025 to obtain parental consent for the use of certain additional Google services for students under 18. These services included, but were not limited to, YouTube, Google Maps, and Google Earth.
Initially, this started quite a frenzy in the educational technology world. YouTube especially, is a big teaching tool. Would it be nice if some kids cannot access it whenever they wanted? Absolutely! But what about those other videos we use to teach our students? Are those blocked too??
Luckily, after many ed tech folks put their heads together, we were able to find ways to share YouTube videos with our students. Below are some options I came up with (not alone- I had plenty of help along the way!).
