For Schools & Districts

A streaming library built for the way districts actually deploy video.

MediaKidVids gives K–12 districts a single, vetted catalog of 12,400+ curriculum-aligned videos — rostering, offline deployment, standards mapping, and district-level reporting included from day one. No consumer-platform risk. No third-party ads. No autoplay surprises.

Chapter 1 · Operations

Rostering, governance, and LMS interoperability — in plain reference prose.

Procurement and IT leads at the district level do not have time for a consumer-style onboarding tour. The three notes below describe what actually happens when a district goes live with MediaKidVids.

01

Roster a district in an afternoon

Push your SIS roster through Clever or ClassLink and every teacher, student, and section appears in MediaKidVids before the next bell. Districts that prefer manual provisioning can use CSV import or SCIM 2.0 — both methods support per-school scoping and shared-section rosters across elementary, middle, and high school buildings.

  • OneDrive, Google Workspace, and Active Directory SSO supported
  • Section-level seat assignment for co-taught and pull-out classes
  • Nightly roster sync, with on-demand re-sync from the admin console
02

Govern access centrally, school by school

District admins set default content bands per grade; building media specialists refine them per site. Teachers cannot bypass district policy, and parents at home are routed through a separate, family-rated catalog surface so the same login never crosses a consumer boundary.

  • Role-based permissions: district, building, media specialist, teacher, paraprofessional
  • Per-school allowlists and denylists with audit trail
  • Quarterly Transparency Report exportable for school board review
03

Plays nicely with the LMS your teachers already use

One-click LTI 1.3 launch from Canvas, Schoology, Google Classroom, and Microsoft Teams for Education. Teachers embed a video, a closed-caption toggle, and the linked teacher guide inside an existing assignment — grade passback is supported where the LMS permits it.

  • LTI 1.3 with OAuth 2.0 and deep-linking per IMS spec
  • Assignments sync to grade columns in Canvas & Schoology
  • Single sign-on uses district IdP — no separate student credentials
What ships in every plan

Capabilities matched to how schools actually use video.

Offline classroom mode

Spotty Wi-Fi is not a blocker.

Teachers download an entire video collection — up to 500 titles at a time — to a ChromeOS, iPad, or Windows tablet. Students watch offline in the classroom, on the bus, or at a field site; usage reconciles automatically when the device reconnects.

Ad-free by design

Zero third-party ads. Zero autoplay redirects.

No pre-roll, no mid-roll, no “watch next” recommendations that funnel a student to YouTube or a competitor platform. COPPA, FERPA, and CIPA compliance are architectural — not policy promises layered on top.

Captions & Spanish tracks

Built-in accessibility, on 74% of the catalog.

Closed captioning is enabled by default on every title. Spanish-language audio tracks and translated teacher guides are available on the majority of the catalog, with the remainder on the 2026 roadmap.

Teacher guides & district reporting

Every video pairs with a guide and a report.

Vocabulary, discussion prompts, standards mapping, and an extension activity ship with every title. District admins see aggregate watch-time, top titles, and engagement by building — exportable to CSV for school board reporting.

Deployment & integrations

Fits the stack your IT team already runs.

MediaKidVids is built to slot into a district’s existing device fleet and learning platforms — not to displace them. The two areas below are where IT and instructional-tech leads most often raise concerns; both are addressed at the architectural level.

Devices & offline mode

Native apps for ChromeOS, iPadOS, and Windows tablets, with web playback on any modern browser. Offline downloads are managed by the teacher, scoped to the device, and expire on a district-set cadence.

  • ChromeOS — managed device policy support
  • iPadOS — MDM enrollment with Apple School Manager
  • Windows — Intune & SCCM deployment

Rostering & LMS connectors

One-click provisioning through Clever, ClassLink, and GG4L; LTI 1.3 launch in Canvas, Schoology, Google Classroom, and Microsoft Teams for Education.

  • Clever & ClassLink — nightly roster sync
  • Canvas & Schoology — LTI 1.3 + grade passback
  • Google Classroom — add-on, share-to-class
Standards alignment

Instructionally engineered, not just a video bin.

Every title in the MediaKidVids catalog is mapped to a state standard, a grade band, and a teacher guide during the 47-point review cycle — before it is ever published for classroom use.

ELA & science, all 50 states

The catalog aligns to the ELA and science standards adopted by all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, with deeper coverage of NGSS, CCSS ELA, and state-specific extensions where they exist. Filters in the teacher view let educators narrow by state, strand, and grade-level expectation.

Standards data is published with each title and reviewed quarterly against state department of education revisions, so the catalog stays current as frameworks evolve.

Teacher guides & multilingual access

Every published title ships with a teacher guide that includes vocabulary, discussion prompts, an extension activity, and an exit-ticket prompt. Spanish-language audio tracks and translated guides are available on 74% of the catalog today, with the remainder on a published 2026 roadmap.

For English-language learners and multilingual classrooms, the caption track, the Spanish audio, and the translated guide can be toggled independently — so a single video serves a heterogeneous room without re-licensing.
