SafeShare.tv

What I like most about the Safe Share site is the ease I have at downloading any video I need for my Religion Classes. I am a Catholic School Teacher of 3rd Graders. I begin each of Religion classes with Christian Music Video. But I also download clips from Religion Movies that correspond with my Religion Lesson. Once I have downloaded the video I have easy access to import these videos in each of my Religion lessons. I don't have to worry about the students seeing inappropriate content. By downloading these ahead of time I don't risk that ever happening.

I don't like that fact that I have to pay for this service. As a Catholic School Teacher I pay for this site out of my own pocket, because I don't work for a school that has money to spend to things like this. But, because of the importance of this in my Religion lessons, I spend my own money each month to assure that I show quality videos.

I love safeshare.tv because I can share videos with my students without all of the pop-ups, advertisement, and links to other distracting (and sometimes inappropriate) enticements that are on the Youtube.com site.

Safeshare.tv just started charging for their services the past academic school year. Prior to that, it had been a free service. I feel that, as an educator, the price is pretty steep. I would not have been able to cover the cost if my local parent-teacher organization hadn't agreed to cover the cost this year. I don't know if they will continue to be so generous in the future. I feel you should look into the cost for educators. Furthermore, I was very disappointed that, even after upgrading to the paid plan, all of my previous videos had to be redone. I had links embedded in power point and other education media as well as my classroom website. I had to go in and update every single one of my links manually. What a pain! I felt this was poor customer service and thanks for long-time customers. You should look into ways to remedy that if you want to retain customers.

SafeShare.tv allows users (great for teachers) to remove the annoying ads that pop up during computer use when viewing media content online. It makes safe viewing so easy - it converts a media link to a safeshare.tv link (no ads) that can be quickly saved then shared. It stores the media links on the dashboard for future usage.

Safeshare.tv could do a better job with cataloging all the video links that are saved on the dashboard. I would like to see them offer "folders" or other organizational tools to "file" all of the videos/learning links that I've accumulated over time. Users need to be able to create/edit this "folders" (e.g for teachers math, science, reading). For parents (e.g. how to videos, storybooks, recipe links). Right now, safeshare offers a general search tool which may or may not find the video link you may be looking for in the search.
