Youtube in the Classroom!
YouTube in the Classroom
YouTube is one of the most powerful web applications on the Internet, with over 1.311 billion videos and counting. More than just an entertainment portal, YouTube can be a research, presentation, and education tool. Because of its abundant supply of content, YouTube lends itself to a wide array of subjects and students. This week we will look at some applications to make Youtube work better for you in the classroom.
VLC Player
VLC Player is a media player that allows users to download and store multiple types of media – including video and audio in many different formats.
SafeShare.TV
SafeShare.tv is a new service that makes it possible to view YouTube videos without displaying the related videos and associated comments.
Keepvid and Clipconverter
Keepvid.com and Clipconverter.cc allow you to save YouTube videos to your computer so that you can play them without needing an Internet connection.
YouTube EDU
YouTube EDU. This portal allows students and teachers to access a broad range of educational videos, including lectures and speeches. YouTube EDU features thousands of videos from partners like National Geographic, TED, and PBS. It is a great starting place to search for class-related content and be inspired by the work of other academics.
