My Big Campus

  •  

    My Big Campus is a district supported website for managing your own online content. My Big Campus provides a place for a library of videos and documents. It can be quite useful for using You Tube videos. It is also possible to see what videos are being used at your school and within AUSD. The big idea here is you find videos at home, add them to My Big Campus, and they are instantaneously viewable at school through My Big Campus without worrying about advertisements. My Big Campus is also a nice way to skip the commercials and other content that You Tube shows.
