If so, then Quietube is for you.
The steps are very quick.
I will show the directions here with Chrome
| 1. Start at the quietube.com website. Drag the icon to your bookmarks bar. (This only needs to be done the very first time you use it. The icon will stay in your bookmarks bar.) viewpure.com also works the same way. | |
| 2. Open any desired YouTube video. Then click on the quietube icon in your bookmarks bar. Copy the quietube address shown. | |
| 3. Share with your students. Here, I create a QR code for students to scan. My go-to site to create them is qrstuff.com. goqr.me will also work. Paste in your 'new' address and download the qrcode image. Print out and post the code for your students to scan with their iPads. The video will open in the Safari on iPad. This link can also be sent through a LMS such as Google Classroom, Seesaw, or a Google Site, among many other options. |

Here is an example video played shown with different streaming options:
on YouTube (original)on Quietubeon ViewPure (Purify)on Vimeo
embedded in Google Slides (no sign-in needed to view)
on Vidyard
SafeYouTube has been blocked by a number of districts for problems that it has had. Their 'update' to Video.Link may be an effort to solve those issues, but it has, in turn, created other challenges. I would recommend avoiding using it for the time being.
It is not good practice for K-2 students to use Youtube directly. It would be better practice to use a one of the options above OR select a different streaming platform such as Loom or Microsoft Stream OR embed videos in resources such as Flipgrid or Blogger that are not ad-based.
