Applications for Education
If you’re fortunate enough to work in a school that allows you to use YouTube in the classroom, Quietube is a handy little tool to have. On occasion I’ve wanted to show a YouTube video but I had to find an alternative because something in the sidebar or comments wasn’t appropriate to display in the classroom.
If YouTube is blocked at your school, you may want to try one of these alternatives.
