Check out 'Socrative | Student Response System' on Learnist

Socrative | Student Response System
I saw this before my most recent workshop, but I didn't really understand how well it worked. If can be used for pre-designed and graded quizzes. It could be used for spur of the moment review or just getting ideas from the class and then voting on the most popular choice. Quizzes can be done with names or anonymously. 1 thing I really loved. The teacher does NOT have to pre-register students. The students just enter your room number (which has to be unique), and they enter their own names at the beginning of each class... and voila. Super easy!

TubeChop - Chop YouTube Videos

So there is a perfect video....  except that one part.  Just chop that section out of there!  Only for use with YouTube videos, unfortunately, but it's quick and it provides a url or the option to embed the video.

I have not been able to embed into a google site, but I can embed the video into my blog.  

Unfortunately, i cannot figure out how to go to full screen mode to show the video, although I believe there is a way to do it.

Top Websites that provide Educational Video Tutorials for Teachers

Looking to flip your classroom?

Maybe you just want to find some short videos that will get the ideas across to your students.

One of the websites on this list may have what you're looking for...

 "Video tutorials are great way to stimulate students cognitive capabilities and elicit more engagement from their part. But not all the teachers have the necessary skills or time to go about creating tutorials for their students and this is why we should always make sure we have a bunch of ready-made tutorials at our disposal for rainy days."
