Give Vidopick a tryWhat do I have to do?
Less than you'd expect.
Share the app. Nothing more.
You don't need to create any content. Vidopick already has more than 2,000 parent-vetted, age-appropriate playlists that parents can browse and add on their own. Just share a link or hand out a flyer with a QR invite.
About 30 seconds ↓Have classroom playlists? Share those too.
If you already use YouTube playlists in your classroom or recommend them for homework, you can include them. Set up an invite code, and when parents scan it, your playlists load automatically in their Vidopick app. If you update the playlist on YouTube, parents see the changes right away.
Free. Easy to set up. No ongoing maintenance.

Do I need permission?
Vidopick is a free app that parents download on their own personal devices. You are not installing anything on school devices or the school network. Sharing it is similar to recommending a book or an educational resource. That said, every school and district has its own policies, so check with your administration if you're unsure.
Your classroom. At home.
When you share educational playlists through Vidopick, you create a direct line from your classroom to the family's home screen. The parent receives exactly the videos you recommend, in a locked-down player where kids can't wander off. No other tool connects teacher-recommended content to a parent's device this way.

Most parental controls limit how long kids use a device or monitor what they did after the fact. Vidopick is the only app that controls exactly which videos exist in a child's world. Nothing else is visible. Nothing else is reachable.
