Have you ever found an amazing video resource you wanted to use in your class but couldn't because it was only on YouTube and was blocked by the LAUSD filter? Well, I learned from Mr. Sanchez today (who learned it from Mr. Ifergan) that you can now access YouTube (and many other media resource sites) from school for 15 minutes at a time. You will be prompted to start an Authorized Override Session by entering your LAUSD Single Sign On password, obviously so ITD can have a record of what videos you watched. But hey, if you're using it for appropriate instruction in the classroom, this should be no problem. It also works for other sites they classify as Streaming Media or Media Sharing. It seems like a step in the right direction to me. If you try it, let us know.
