For teachers who use YouTube videos in class or send the links of YouTube videos to students here is a tip that might make accessing specific portions of longer clips easier. This was published in the NYTimes today (2/10).
When you copy the URL for the clip just add
#t=MmSs
to the end of the URL. “M” is minute and “S” is second. So, if you want a student to start watching a video at the 2 minute and 24 second point, add
#t=2m24s
to the end of the URL. The following link will take you 7 minutes and 24 seconds into the mystery (???) YouTube video.
