No Ads YouTube Video

ViewPure Lets you watch YouTube videos withouth comments, suggestions or ads along the side! There are still pop up adds available in the ad bar at the base of the video itself.

Great when you want to add a specific video for a class, but don't want the students 'distracted' and going off in other directions.

Simply paste the YouTube url into the space provided!

Google Wonder Wheel

It's been around for over a year now, but you may not have ever tried it out.  Why should you? Because it presents your results in a graphically relevant way.  Not all students (or teachers) find it easy to scan down a page to choose which link to follow.  While this is still text, it's organize in a mind map type of format ... and clicking on one of the subcategories will expand out with another wheel... an so on.
