A YouTube video is restricted for students. How can it be allowed?
As a student
By default, students will have access to all YouTube videos except for those that have been deemed inappropriate for student consumption by YouTube. These restrictions will be strict for elementary and middle students, and less strict for high school students.
Inappropriate content will be automatically hidden and a banner will appear at the top of student’s screens while searching for that display:
This banner does not indicate that the student is in trouble or more restricted than other students, this is strictly indicative that the content filter features are in place.
As a teacher or staff member
Staff members will have full unrestricted access to YouTube.
If a staff member wants a “restricted” video available for students, they can now approve videos themselves. To do this click the approve button right below the video they want students to have access:
This action can be undone by reloading the video and clicking the remove button:
If the video says “Watchable by Parkwayschools.net”, it means that YouTube has not flagged the video as being age-inappropriate for students. If you believe this is not correct, and the video should be restricted, use YouTube’s built-in report feature.
If a video has been “Approved for parkwayschools.net.” it most likely means that another teacher or staff member is utilizing it with students. Please do not click “Remove” on the video. If you feel strongly that it is not appropriate for students, please contact your TS or the Help Desk.

I have multiple sections on the same course in Schoology. Can I link them together as one?
Requirements for linking sections of a course:
- The sections must be within the same Course.
- The sections must be associated with the same grading period.
- Enrollment must be unique across the linked sections. There cannot be any overlap in the students.
-
The sections must have the same Course Admins.
Linking Existing Sections Together
- Click your Courses drop-down menu and and select My Courses.
Steps 2-7 demonstrated below:
- In your list of courses, click the gear icon to the right of the section you consider to be the "master section". If you have materials in both courses, the "master section" is the one that holds the materials and grades you would like to continue to use between the two sections.
- Select Link Existing Sections from the dropddown.
- Select the section(s) to link and click Next.
- As a safeguard against losing grade data for child sections, you must select to download a grade export file for each section being linked. See the "Gradebook File Download when Linking or Unlinking Sections" instructions below for details.
- Select the file type to download:
- As a Standard CSV spreadsheet.
- As a CSV file that you can use to import into other systems, such as an SIS.
- Click Download and Next.
- Click Link Sections.
- A warning message displays:
"Materials from (section name) will not be copied into: (section name). Once complete, the sections will share: grade setup, materials, and course profile (of the destination section). Member enrollments will still belong to their respective sections."
This means that the section for which you clicked the gear icon will be the master section–the linked sections will now all have access to and use the materials in that master section. This includes Course Materials and items in your Grade Setup (such as Grading Categories, Rubrics, etc). However, the original rosters of students when the sections were separate will remain the same after you link the sections. - Click Link Sections.
If the requirements for linked sections are not met, the other section(s) will be grayed out. If you hover your mouse over the grayed-out section, you will see a tooltip explaining the cause of the issue.
