The SchoolTube

 Has anyone heard of SchoolTube? If not,well i'm going to make you discover it.

                                     What is SchoolTube,actually?



SchoolTube is a free K-12 video community. The company was founded in 2007 by Carl Arizpe and his son Andrew. It is based in St-Louis,Misouri. Basically,it's the Youtube for schools and education.

                                         The Access At School:

ScoolTube has traction with a broad base of the American learning community. All student-generated content is teacher moderated. As of 2013,there are registered SchoolTubers users in over 50,000 K-12 schools in the United States who are uploading on average 1000 videos a day. Most schools have blocked commercial video platforms from the classroom due to inappropriate content. SchoolTube has been granted this access due to a safe moderation process that ensures all user-generated content is appropriate for the K-12 environment. SchoolTube is endorsed by many of the top national educational associations. Some top endorsers include the American Association of School Librarians and the National Science Teachers Association.

                                           Moderation Process:

SchoolTube's content moderation process is what makes it safe platform for classroom. When a student decides to upload a video,a teacher or administrator from that student's school must approve the video before it be made live on the site. This allows schools to create strong video-sharing communities. Schools also have the option to limit a video viewing to its own school. This moderation process had led students to create higher-quality work.

                                                  


Powepuff Girls Original Title: Woopass Stew!

 Hi everybody! Today I am talking about the original Powerpuff Girls series...

                                                        Whoopass Stew!



During Craig McCraken's first year in character animation program of CarlArt,he created a series of short cartoons based on a character called ''No Neck Joe''. In June 1991,he created a drawing of three girls with large eyes,inspired by the ''waif'' painting of Margaret Keane,on a small sheet of orange construction paper as a birthday card design for his brother. The following year,he included the three girls as the main characters of his short film Woopass Stew! The Whoopass Girls in: A Sticky Situation. He wanted to animate all four Woopass Girls shorts,but only one was produced.

While he was working on 2 Stupid Dogs,the Whoopass Stew short was picked up for a series by Cartoon Network. The name ''Whoopass'' was dropped for inclusion as part of the ''What a cartoon'' animated shorts showcase. McCraken explained that Cartoon Network executives believed no one would make children toys with the word ''ass'' in it. The title was then changed from Whoopass Stew to The Powerpuff Girls and the can of whoopass was renamed to the Chemical X.
