Safely View Videos from YouTube

I know it's not easy managing what students see when they connect to videos on YouTube.  It is so disheartening to be watching one thing and then another video starts playing before you can stop it.  The next video usually has some sort of connection, but it is so easy to get led down a path and turn up in a spot where you don't want your students watching.  I encourage the use of SafeShare.Tv.

SafeShare.TV allows individuals to enter a URL for a YouTube video and generates a new URL that takes away all the extras from YouTube, so that viewers only see the stop, pause or play buttons for the video.  And, the links never expire!

As with most tools, there are many options available, for free, to provide this service. This is just one that I feel works really well for the students I work with every day.
