Displaying YouTube Without Distractions. In my previous post I shared the idea of using extended display mode to choose what is and isn't displayed on the projector in your classroom. If one of the things that you want to display is a YouTube video, you'll want to make sure that you don't accidentally display the "related" videos that appear on YouTube. You can avoid displaying related videos by using one of the following free tools. None of these tools will bypass your school's filter nor will they let you download videos. Watchkin is a service that allows you to watch and project YouTube videos without seeing the related sidebar content typically seen on YouTube.com. View Pure is a simple little tool that strips way all of the distractions of related videos, comments, and promoted videos. Quietube is a handy little browser extension that removes all the clutter from YouTube allowing you to view only your selected video.

A Handful of Ideas for Using Tellagami In School. This is a guest post from Samantha Morra at EdTechTeacher.org Tellagami, a free iOS app that lets you create short animated movies called "Gamis," is one of my new favorite animation apps to explore. Although the site promotes the app as a way to send greetings and messages for use within social media, I see it as a great tool in the classroom. With Tellagami, begin by creating and customizing a character. Although there is not a great deal of variety in virtual appearance, just enough options exist to personalize your character.

I have worked with teachers where they introduce the classroom to students or parents with their character in different spots around the room, even on a bookshelf. Some quick ideas you might try: You can also save them to your iPad Photos, which is what I like to do.
