It should read, YouTube for K-12 Schools. This is a new service being brought out by YouTube to help solve the issue of their service being blocked by many K-12 school districts. http://youtube.com/education (they can’t use a .edu domain because they are not a school) offers screened content and no comments or related videos to help schools access appropriate videos for their courses. Duke’s content will automatically be available because we are a content partner for YouTube.

If you have a K-12 School that you are working with, you can point them to http://youtube.com/education for more information or one of the following links:

There’s great information on not only the service but how to configure your network to only allow this version of YouTube through your filters.
