My name is John MacKenzie a.k.a. Mr. Mac. I teach in East Grand Rapids, MI and was the STEM teacher of the year for the district in 2014. The purpose of this blog is to give simple and effective ed tech advice. There is a ton of information out there about educational technology and at times it is difficult to find the diamond in the rough. I try to find tools that are easy to use, save time and keep students engaged. Thanks for reading! Make sure to follow me on Twitter as well @mrmacmathsci

YouTube Distractions NO MORE!
We've all probably been there before. You're showing a video from the amazing resource which is YouTube. There are a plethora of educational videos that are rich, entertaining, funny and pertinent in which students really enjoy. However, there is always the fear of an inappropriate advertisement or suggestion for a related video that makes you wish you had never shown the video!
There's an app for that!
It is called Quiettube and can be found at http://quietube.com/.
You drag the button on the web page to your Bookmark toolbar and it is ready to roll. Go to YouTube, pick your video, and click the bookmark you just made for Quiettube and there are no more suggestions on the side of videos and life is better!
Thanks for taking the time and reading Simple Ed Tech.
