The ChopTube website is located at http://www.tubechop.com/
Before using any video on YouTube or any other site, it should definitely reviewed to make sure it is appropriate for a classroom. However, tubechop allows an educator (or anybody for that matter) to review a video and chop out parts of that video to share. I can definitely see uses for this in the classroom as a way to streamline a video so that a teacher doesn't have to cue up the starting time and stay there waiting to push the stop button when that specific portion of the video is over. I also see it as a great way to show multiple sections of a longer video quickly and easily.
This is a great site for a teacher who wants to use Youtube to aid classroom learning but is leary about accidentally showing something inappropriate or a teacher who needs to streamline multiple clips. I can see myself using this site as a way to shorten a long video into two or three clips that I think are the most beneficial parts of the longer video. It is also easy enough for students to use as a way to add a little technology to presentations and assignments. This is definitely a useful tool that every teacher should have in their toolbox
