Our awesome Library/Media Specialist showed me this website today. Splicd.com lets you isolate a segment of a YouTube video and provides a link or embed information to share it. It's very easy to use which is a plus for the busy teacher who doesn't have time to do full on editing or simply wants to show a part of a video to the class.
This is a video I like to share with my class when doing Copyright and Fair Use. It's 10 minutes long and becomes difficult for my students to follow due to style. With YouTube, I can embed a link to start at a specific point in the video but with splicd.com I can easily assign an end point to the clip also.
I like the ability to break up the video into manageable segments. I can see using this within my Moodle lessons for younger students - showing a clip and asking a question or two to follow the clip. Another nice thing about the site is that it does not require you to start an account or give any kind of information. Go in, create your video segment and leave.
P.S. I posted this earlier today and had to remove it right away because the embedded video wasn't showing. Turns out it was our school's Internet filter. Make sure you share the splicd.com link with your Internet administrator too!
