I decided to sit down and catch up on my blogs today since I am sick. (Story of our life around here.). Te first blog I went to was one called, "Love of Learning". This particular entry was about math. Attached to it was if signed up for their newsletter you got a free ebook. So I went ahead and signed up. Although the ebook is very abbreviated there were some good ideas in it. For example, there are ways to get YouTube videos without all the side advertisements as well as working around the school firewall.

1. http://www.m86vusafe.com. This site allows you to create a data bank of your videos
2. http://www.safeshare.tv/. This site allows you to not only filter the external stuff out, but you also can crop videos. This makes it useful when you only want to show part of the video.

Other things I have now picked up include searching for videos through not only YouTube and Teachertube, but also Vimeo.

Some more safe search engines include:
1. iSEEK education
2. Dogpile
3. duckduckgo
4. Wolfram alpha
5. Sweet search
See the details on each in this blog entry.
