YouTube is an excellent resource to use in schools but the biggest problem is quite often some of the offensive comments that invariably get left below popular clips. When showing clips on your interactive whiteboard, you don’t really want to be showing those comments to your class.

YouTube XL is one way to get around that. Basically YouTube XL is a skinned version of YouTube designed to use on large-screen televisions. The interface makes it simpler to use by cutting out a lot of the clutter on the page. In fact, it makes YouTube a whole lot easier to use on an IWB. The advantage of losing the clutter means that there are no comments on view – you just have the videos. Try it out now : http://www.youtube.com/xl
