Embed Plus

This is the most useful site I've found in a while for embedding video. Embed Plus lets you add controls to the YouTube videos you want to show on your blog, wiki - wherever you can use embed codes. You can edit the embed code easily to add marks that allow these features: Sceen Skipping, Real Time Reactions (which I disabled as I did NOT want), Crop to the part you want to show, Zoom In and Out, add Annotations (very nice), Slow Motion on Demand, and Instant Replay. A very neat and easy tool!

While you're examining the buttons here, notice the video! From the historyteacher's channel on YouTube, the History for Music Lovers series is terrific! Go here to check them out:
