online discussion around a video

Vialogues(Video+Dialogues) is an asynchronous Video discussion tool which can be used for leveraging digital videos for learning by adding group interaction as part of the online video experience.

YouTube has more tools than just uploading and sharing videos. It allows you to record from your webcam, create photo slide shows, stream live through a Google+ hangout, and edit videos just like the video editor in Windows Live MoveMaker. These tools extends the educational value of YouTube beyond just watching video to using it as a tool for the 4 Cs (creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking)

SafeShare is a website that takes YouTube videos and gets rid of almost ALL of the advertisements and junk around the main video. Safeshare even removes the ads that are often showed before popular videos. Using it is VERY simple and I really don't know why I did not convert all my videos before now. All you do is copy the YouTube link and paste it into Shafeshare.tv (see image below) Then you are given a new link to use instead of the YouTube link. Save that to your favorites and you are set.

This is great. Will have to check it out.
