Have you ever wanted to share a YouTube video with your students? Have you ever hesitated because you were unsure of what would show up? PureView is a website that will strip videos down to just a video that is free from distracting, and sometimes, inappropriate videos. To Get Started Go to the ViewPure website. At the top, paste in the URL to the video you want to share. You will then get a webpage with just the video on the ViewPure site. From here, you can share this link to the purified video. Alternatively, you can drag the applet into your bookmarks bar so you can quickly purify videos to share. ViewPure has many more features, but this will get you started.

I was recently asked by a teacher to add her to my class. Although I am a SEESAW AMBASSADOR, I had never done this before. I opened Seesaw and read the screen. The wrench in the upper-right side is where you can edit the settings. When you click the wrench, it opens the Class Settings. The third option is to Manage Teachers .  After you click Manage Students, you are presented with an option to invite a teacher.

Screenshot from the Chrome Store One teacher came to me the other day asking about a way to open a Word Doc on her computer Windows 10 computer that did not have Microsoft Office installed.  I thought the best solution was installing Open Office or LibreOffice, but it might be faster to install a Chrome Extension made by Google called Office Editing for Docs, Sheets & Slides . I haven't installed this extension or used it yet, but it sounds like a good option.
