Safe QR Code for YouTube Videos

Want to have a video center using iPads and iPods and Youtube videos?  Want to make sure there’s no ads or other videos included?  Then use SaveShare.TV.

AND…you can even use this site in conjunction with QR Code Generator to create QR Codes that link to these safe videos.  Here’s how:

1) Find the video you want to use on YouTube.

2) Copy the link into SafeShare.TV Site.

3) Copy the link you get from SafeShare to a QR Code Generator.  Make sure you choose “website url” for this, not Youtube Video.

4) Download the QR code for that video to use.  We use QR Code Readers such as i-nigma and Scan on the iPads and iPod Touches to scan the QR codes and watch these videos.

Try it out with the QR Code below:

iPod Apps for Your Classroom

I’m loving the way AppsFire allows you to share ipod touch/iphone apps in an easy, friendly, visual way. For those of us who are really looking at ways ipods can impact teaching and learning, this is a great way to share apps we’ve found! Here’s some of the ones I’ve found through various resources…from the teachers I worked with over the summer, from this ipod touch article from Your Tech Weblog , and from conferences. They are mainly elementary and middle school apps (with more for elementary). And…most are free (are 99 cents)!

Update: I’m adding this widget (it will continue to be updated) to the Resources/Handouts Page of this blog.
