Who can use Youtube?
SFUSD staff and students can watch videos on YouTube, and a student's ability to watch specific videos depends on the device and wi-fi network the student is using. District-managed devices and wi-fi networks have more restrictions in place than personal devices and personal networks.
Only SFUSD staff can upload videos to YouTube. As of September 2021, Google does not allow student accounts to upload videos to YouTube, but student videos can still be uploaded to Google Drive and/or submitted via Google Classroom.
Deeper Learning has 4 core instructional priorities
Inquiry
The thinking and questioning of students is the focal point. Students build connections to prior learning and experiences, and are independent learners who make their thinking visible.
Collaboration
Students interact in meaningful ways through conversation, or participation in collaborative structures. The educator serves as facilitator and a collectivist or communal approach is used.
Equitable Access & Demand
Curricula is designed and instruction is delivered to ensure access for all and cognitive demand for “each and every” student, supporting independence, not dependence.
Assessment for Learning
Students are provided with time, space and support to set goals, assess learning, track progress and present their growth. Students are seen as co-designers of their assessment, owning and sharing their learning.
