Watch Out For Those Ads on YouTube...

Many teachers use YouTube in the classroom as a resource, but is this safe to use among students?

YouTube is know for having inappropriate advertisements all over their site.  Suggested videos may have explicit content on it, and these suggested videos always change when you watch a video.  Many schools block YouTube because of this and I do not blame them.  

So how can teachers use all of the great content and videos from YouTube, and not have to worry about inappropriate suggested videos?  The answer is ViewPure.  ViewPure is a site that blocks all of the advertisements and just plays the video.  This takes away all of the suggested videos and just displays the video you want to watch.  Now this ad blocking site is great, but if there are advertisements embedded within the video, those ads will still be there.  ViewPure only blocks those ads surrounding the video.

To watch a YouTube video on ViewPure, follow these steps.

1. Find a YouTube video you like.  You can either search YouTube videos on the ViewPure site by going to the "Search" tab, or you can search directly on YouTube.  
2. If you search for a video on YouTube, copy and paste the video URL into the field on the ViewPure homepage that says "Enter YouTube URL or search term..."
3. Click "Purify" and enjoy.
