You Tube is a fabulous internet tool that allows us to show educational videos to our students for free! Despite You Tube's popularity, there are some concerns that I have regarding You Tube. 1. "Commercials" play or "pop-ups" are present during the video (which we can not control). 2. Video Suggestions are advertised all over the page. 3. Possible derogatory comments are below the video. 4. Another video will immediately play after your selected video. We must control what we let "little eyes" see and "little ears" hear. We must put forth effort to protect the innocence of children from breaches of protection by accidental laundering of filth on the internet. Here is how we can do that: http://www.viewpure.com/ – Find a video you are searching for on YouTube. – Copy the URL. – Go to ViewPure.com and paste the URL. – Watch the video without ads, comments, or suggested videos! In an effort increase our efforts of protecting children while online, all ACS teachers are required to use viewpure.com starting immediately if they wish to show you tube videos in class or on campus.
