Thank you for the great suggestion. We will explore how to provide better control of YouTube video playback in teacher-paced settings.
This is ESSENTIAL for students in Autistic Support classrooms. Many of our students with autism struggle with dexterity and motor control. When they are trying to interact with a lesson on the smart board they frequently change the size of the slide by accident due to the grid feature being automatically enabled and easily triggered. It's extremely sensitive to accidental touch. If they hold the pen and stand too close the the board sometimes it starts zooming in and out. Some students are fascinated by this feature and start playing with the depth of field and distrupt instruction. This feature has been so problematic that I end up making most of my presentations through Google Slides (which is a lot less interactive for the kids but way more user friendly).
