You Tube, I Tube, We All Tube...
A few years ago You Tube was blocked and seen as boo, bad in the classroom. Now, the online video storage house is unblocked and can be a fantastic classroom tool!!
In the classroom...
You Tube is a catch all of crazy cat videos, people doing stupid stuff videos as well as some great educational finds. The catch is you have to search and then preview the selection before sharing it with your students. (enter foul word at 3:15 in the video :/) Searching over and over can be cumbersome and time consuming. This is where searching once and downloading it is so helpful.
Step 1 Find and preview a video you'd like to share.
Step 2 Go the the url and add "ss" in front of 'youtube' in the web address
Step 3 After pressing enter you will be taken to another page "Saved from the Net" press the green download. Your download will begin and you now have a downloaded video to save and share over and over without searching.
