LEWISTON Administrators are looking into a way to offer filtered YouTube access to students on school devices.
Superintendent Jake Langlais introduced the idea at a School Committee meeting Monday night.
“I believe the benefits outweigh the risks,” he said. “I think there is massive benefit to YouTube’s educational platform.”
The online video platform offers educational material that would greatly enrich remote instruction, he said. Teachers have full access, and students had it until a few years ago.
“The media that is added to YouTube on a daily basis is incredible,” Langlais wrote in a memo to the committee. “Much of the content is educationally purposeful.”
