Using TV4Education – Teacher Guide

1. Finding a Program’s Rating

When you browse TV4Education, each program card shows its details:

• Title, duration, and broadcast date.

• At the bottom of each card, you’ll see the classification rating (e.g., G, PG, M, MA, R, or CTC).

• Example:

  • A program might show “PG” inside the box.

  • This means the program has been rated Parental Guidance.

2. Understanding Video Classification Security

Each classification has a security level attached to it. This determines who can view the program.
 

• Security 50 → Staff Only
  (e.g., M, MA, R, CTC, and “No Rating” are set to 50. Only staff accounts can view these.)

• Security 0–49 → Available to Students, depending on their year level.

  • Year 7 students = Security 7

  • Year 8 students = Security 8

  • Year 9 students = Security 9

  • … and so on.

This means:

• If a video is rated PG with a security of 9, students in Year 9 and above can view it.

• If a video is rated M with a security of 50, only teachers/staff can view it.

3. Sharing Programs with Students

Sometimes, you may want to show a video to a class even if it sits outside their security rating.

• Teachers can manually share a program with a year level so it becomes available to them.
