Saf(er) YouTube for your classroom

Sounds like some teachers would love to use YouTube in class, but fear (or are annoyed by) the pop-up ads and trailers: a completely valid concern.
Enter AdBlock Plus.
This is a Chrome Extension (meaning it will rest on your Chrome browser search bar with a little ABP stop sign icon), and pretty much do what it says: block ads. You can also use this to block ads from your Facebook feed and sidebar.
This may kick your YouTube over to safety mode, which will disallow some of the videos that are actually safe. To turn safety mode off in YouTube, just scroll down to any YouTube page and find the Safety radio button and click Off.
