An alternative to YouTube for the education field

As many of us are aware, there is a plethora of information on YouTube that is suitable for classroom use, and there's also a plethora of information on YouTube that is NOT suitable for classroom use. Substitutes such as TeacherTube.com have popped up over time, but unfortunately some of these sites load very slowly and are not effective when it comes to effectively utilizing the precious bit of time that educators have in the classroom.

I found an effective alternative--Edublogs.tv. This site allows you to grab the videos you want from YouTube, and show them in your classroom. In addition, there is some semblance of oversight--the powers that be on Edublogs.tv do review upload videos and delete inappropriate content if necessary.
