Keeping Young People Safe on the Web

Our mission is to facilitate the sharing of relevant and accurate educational videos and student productions where students from K - 11 can learn and share in a safe and comfortable environment. We ensure content is appropriate for the site through the following pre-screening process:

When a video is uploaded to the site it doesn’t immediately get published for all to see, but instead goes into a screening room that only our moderators have access to. The video is encoded into the format required by our site and an email is sent to the moderators stating that new content is ready to be screened. The moderators, who are educators by trade, review the content and publish only the approved videos. It is at this point that the video becomes visible on the website for the general public.

Videos will be flagged if they contain:

• Copyright infringement
• Personal or nominal information that can be used to identify and locate a student
• Unsuitable content for young viewers

By going through the screening and approval process, s’CoolTV can guarantee that all content is safe and appropriate for school use.
