YouTube for Learners

I love I can look up and instantly start learning at anytime on YouTube.  There are so many amazing tutorials made by so many different people I don't always know where to start!  This can also be a little overwhelming for young learners.  And, I am always looking for ways to keep content for learners with the least amount of distractions as possible.  But the real question is, how??

First, you can view all videos in full screen mode to help eliminate advertisements, comments, and other suggested videos.

But, did you also know you can combine the power of Google Slides with YouTube?  By using the video URL and embedding a video in Slides you have more control over what your learners see.

Now that the video is embedded on a Slide, right-click to select Format Options. Here you can adjust the start and stop time of a video, along with other formatting options.

Use these features to help keep learners focused on the content. Do you notice a difference in how your class responds to videos shared using these tips?
