Quietube is a web-browser extension that simplifies viewing youtube videos by eliminating unnecessary ads and other distractions.
Nothing disrupts a lesson more than when an unexpected Ad appears before a youtube video that was being used in a lesson. For K-12 teachers, this can be especially problematic depending on whether you are using a personal or work computer… Remember: these ads are drawn, in part, from your own search history…
Using a browser plugin like Quietube takes care of that nuisance, including inappropriate comments, cued videos to play next on the right-hand-side, and more by simplifying the webpage. Take control of your (and your students’) viewing experience!
