nts do not have access during school hours. This is primarily to ensure ba=
ndwidth isn't zapped when a popular video goes viral among the students.
Prior to doing this, bandwidth issues forced use to block YouTube on all bu=
t one workstation where we made it accessible to faculty and gave instructi=
ons/tools for download to a flash drive for classroom use.
Neither solution is perfect, but it provides access for instructional use w=
hen it's needed.

Subject: YouTube and Firewalls...
We would like to allow our faculty to use YouTube because it can be a =20
wonderful teaching resource yet we are challenged to monitor its use =20
with our students. Our entire campus is protected by a firewall so a =20
website is either allowed or blocked for all. I am curious if anyone =20
has encountered this and what solutions have you come up with.
Thanks so much,
