The Children's Online Privacy and
Protection Act PDF
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! :-)"
