World History
Up until now I have used Splicd to set my Youtube videos to where I want them for student viewing. Splicd still is useful if you want to have a beginning and an end of the video. As you can see above you need only go to the video, click on "share" beneath it and then hit the tab besides "options." Then you enter the time you want the video to begin. If you want a truncated url (perhaps for sharing on Twitter) do not click besides "long link." Then copy the link in the box above the word "close" (see above picture). Now when would you use it. Well the worst thing that social studies teachers do is show long videos. This lets you show a short snippet and then move on. If you want more tips on how to use Youtube, you can get them from the Google+ page for it.
