Get A YouTube Video

The assignment asked the class to find a way to download a YouTube video onto our computers then back onto the internet. I first Googled the same question and a YouTube video was the first link I was directed to go to from the web. The video then gave a tutorial on how to save videos onto my desktop using Keepvid.I simply copied the URL then pasted onto that site, saved on my desktop then convertered it to a MP3 file all on the same site, much easier then Benderconverter. By knowing these ways to save videos, I can use very useful videos in my classroom. There are plenty of useful and educational videos that are blocked from school use which is a shame because many do not know about these tools. In my professional developement, I can not only find more tools but share them with collegues and teach them how to use videos. By showing videos, I can facilitate and inspire learning as in Standard 1. I can enhance student learning by watching these same tutorials that may break through to some students which I could not in my teaching and this is a real world issue. A lot of jobs or assignments may be better enhanced by a video the students could find on YoutTube. Also, Modeling Digital Age Work and Learning will be completed by knowing this information because I will be able to communicate relivant ideas to peers, students, and parents through videos.
