Seesaw has partnered with YouTube for Education: teachers can now embed YouTube videos directly inside Seesaw activities, so students watch without leaving the platform â safer and distraction-free. Full embed is available on Seesaw Instruction & Insights and Seesaw AI tiers; Seesaw for Schools customers get a YouTube search function.

May ContentStrategy Blueprint: Instagram hashtags now drive no content recommendations â keywords in captions and voiceovers are what matter for reach, though branded hashtags remain useful for curation within SprX/website tools. Facebook increasingly favours short-form video; LinkedIn's AI algorithm rewards keyword-rich and recent posts. End-of-year prompt to book social media CPD for ICS staff to encourage school storytelling (social@interactiveschools.com).
