  • Work around?
    • Any google doc can be saved as a Microsoft365 doc and shared through One-Drive or Teams
• Vimeo:
  • How much:
    • Open for teachers. Completely blocked for students. 
  • Why:
    • We have no control over specific videos like we do with youtube. So everything on the site would be open. This would lead to open entertainment during school and inappropriate material. 
  • Is there a hope of it being unblocked:
    • extremely unlikely
  • Work around?
    • most  videos on vimeo are also on youtube, which we can unblock specific videos on.
