Making Videos Appropriate for your Classroom

Have you every played a you tube clip, and had inappropriate videos show up to play next? Do you hate having comments or ads appear before during or after showing a you tube clip? Is You Tube blocked? Do you just want to show a selected part of a you tube video? I have some websites that every teacher should know about.
