Springston School's YouTube Channel



Like many schools, we have our own YouTube Channel - we've called it SpringstonTube. We started the Channel because so many of our students are now creating videos. Many of these are posted on the class blogs, but we thought that it would be great to have a more central/general place where school-wide videos are able to be hosted - on YouTube, and then they can be viewed directly there, or by being embedded on this News Blog, or our Library Blog.

We suggest that you subscribe to SpringstonTube (it's free, and you will get an email when new videos are uploaded); and show your support by selecting 'Like' and/or commenting on the students' videos. However, the best place to show your support is by commenting on the Blog posts themselves. Classes subscribe to these posts and can immediately see when a new comment has been posted.

If you have concerns about other material that may appear on any YouTube page, you may like to use QuietTube. This allows all other material, other than the video you are watching, to be removed from the web page, giving a plain background. You can create a bookmark or a link to send to friends or family, allowing them to view the video in this 'quieter' way. Go to the QuietTube page, view the tutorial, and you'll see how it works and how easy it is to use.
