Once you have found a video you like and want to use with students - what options do you have?

Other than linking to the video, or embedding it in your class blog, wiki or website, there are other tools out there that allow your students to interact with the videos in different ways.

Watch the video on a less distracting screen.

"Not only does SafeShare.TV remove distracting and offensive elements around YouTube videos, but it also allows you to crop videos before sharing them."

ViewPure
"Watch YouTube videos without comments, suggestions, or the 'other' things." (This site also works with TeacherTube)

Build an Activity around a Video

ESLvideo: Add multiple choice questions to a video clip.
This is a site where you can add multiple choice questions, a transcript and language notes to YouTube videos. If you teach a language other than English, your students can look for "Quizzes in other languages" to find activities in French, Spanish, etc.
