COPPA

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, requires commercial website operators to get parental consent before collecting any personal information from kids under 13.

COPPA allows teachers to act on behalf of a parent during school activities online, but does not require them to do so. Check to see whether your school district has a policy about disclosing student information.



    What Educators are saying about SchoolTube...

    "SchoolTube is a safe and fun way for students to view their work online and share it with their peers and family, both near and far away. As a matter of fact, it's the one way we were able to share a project with ESL students who just moved to Canada. We uploaded their video and they were able to send the URL back to Pakistan so their relatives were able to watch it!

    Furthermore, we see it as a great study tool. One grade 6 class studying First Nations uploaded their videos on their research group and then used it as a study tool to learn from each other in a fun and engaging way".

    "What a great service you provide! I was discouraged when our network admin told us that there was not enough space on our web server for our project. SchoolTube has made it possible to share our hard work with many others. Thanks! :-)"
