We keep running into an embarrassing problem with online materials. Let’s say you follow the online curriculum and show the students the video at:
Once the video finishes, YouTube, which is used underneath, covers the viewing area with “suggestions”. Some of those suggestions might be really inappropriate for the students, some, while not being outright embarrassing, would still be unrelated and disruptive for the class. You might blame the presenter’s browsing habits, but in reality, the provided “suggestions” are also location based (different suggestions at school and at home) and also trying to mix at least one “unrelated but click-baity” item.
We have tried using separate google account logged in. We have tried restricted mode. But nothing really helped (besides carefully pausing the video one second short, but there is still the sidebar).
In contrast with this is the CMU VexIQ programming curriculum (e.g. http://www.education.rec.ri.cmu.edu/previews/robot_c_products/teaching_rc_vex_iq/). They use a different way to play the videos and all you see is the video in question. No suggestions, no ads, no embarrassing content.
Could VEX consider this and change the video player?
How are others dealing with this?
