Here are some tips related to Internet safety when working with these websites and young learners / teens


 * **Hiding other //Youtube// content**

Sometimes when showing a Youtube clip, you might not want your learners to see the other content on the site (either because it is inappropriate or could distract them), so use a site such as SafeShare (http://www.safeshare.tv/) to only show the video you want them to see.



You can also crop the videos before you show them, so this site can be used as a teaching aid too, when you want to only show part of a video for some reason.

Another way to present YouTube videos is to place the video on a separate page using @http://pen.io/ - here's an example : @http://oneworld.pen.io and another: @http://doveevolution.pen.io/

An alternative to this is to embed the video on a class blog or wiki (see below for how to do this), which is great of you want to collect a number of resources in the same place.


 * **Embedding content from other websites**

Some sites have inappropriate adverts or links to content that you may not want your learners to see. Fortunately, most of the websites here offer you a way around this, which is to use a class //blog// or open up a //wiki// and embed the content. It's usually easy to learn how to do this :
 * 1) look for the 'embed' or 'share' link on the site
 * 2) copy the code (see example image below to see what this will look like)
 * 3) add it to your blog or wiki



This also has an additional benefit to you : you can save all of your learner's content in one place together (a bit like what I've done here on this wiki)
