Unblock Youtube at the Elementary Schools

The district content filter blocks Youtube and Vimeo videos for teachers at Metcalf and other elementary schools. (My understanding is that this situation will be rectified with the arrival and installation of a new content filter.) If you are trying to play a video from your own web site or any other web site that links to or embeds Youtube or Vimeo videos, the videos may show up as blanks, or have error messages. To fix the problem, you need to override the district’s content filter. You may watch the brief video below, or click this link for step by step written directions.

Ironically, the video that shows you how to override the filter may itself be blocked. If the video is not showing up for you underneath this text, uh... you can watch it from home until you're comfortable using the filter override. ;-)
