How to Safely Show and Share Videos in the Classroom

Many teachers have asked if there is a way to view YouTube videos without ads, related videos and comments. Here are a few options you can try:

1. Create a Safe YouTube link: remove adds, comments and related vidoes

2. View Pure: http://www.viewpure.com/
   • Paste the YouTube URL and clic Purify. It will generate a link to view the video free of ads, comments and related videos. 
   • No Account needed. 

3. SafeShare.tv https://safeshare.tv/
   • Paste the URL of the YouTube or Vimeo video into the site and it will generate a link to view the video free of ads, comments and related videos.
   • **FREE Account required** Use your Portnet Google to login- limited to 20 SafeShare videos with the free account. Port Washington does not have a district license for this service.
