The teacher said that "you can't even access YouTube" is true or banning one-sided management does not improve trust.

Why can't YouTube see it?

"on the terminals issued by the school, it is very difficult for children to just watch YouTube." It is not uncommon to hear the voices of such parents. Therefore, many local governments say "total ban on YouTube". Because there is content that can be used to teach, it also depends on how to use it, and there are also schools that prohibit teachers from using YouTube. With "it doesn't change now, when does it change? school Education Frontier" as the theme, by the education research sister Wei Changjun commentary of this series. This time, let me talk about the right and wrong of using YouTube on the spot in school. In the past two weeks, I happened to hear similar stories in two counties. In A county, the seminar is released by video, because some schools do not have access to YouTube (some places can be banned according to the town, some places are banned), and the person in charge of the training burns the video into DVD for distribution. In B County, the lecturer I suggested that anyone who could attend could hold a seminar held by Zoom and watch video messages in the future, but there were still towns and villages where YouTube was banned, so I decided to suspend the seminar itself. Novel coronavirus has been spreading for more than a year and a half. When classes are suspended at the same time across the country, many education-related personnel (the Board of Education, schools, parents) feel painfully aware of the fragility of school ICT preparation and the use of advanced examples, but so far, there is still an autonomous body that even YouTube can not see. Frankly speaking, I am surprised and a little surprised. Moreover, it is not for children and students, but for staff. Since no investigation has been conducted, I do not know if there are many such examples. Having said that, I said to myself on social networking sites that there are prohibitions in other areas as well. To be exact, according to the regulations of the Board of Education or the Urban Machimura Information Section, 1. Browsing and using various websites, including YouTube, are prohibited. 2. Some websites are prohibited, but the purpose of applying for education, etc., is allowed. There seem to be some cases, such as not prohibited, and so on. By the way, until recently, there were schools where only a few terminals in the staff office were connected to the external network.
