Something educational on YouTube???

Zamzar.com is a great site for teachers.  Have you ever found a “good” video on Youtube but you couldn’t show it to your students because the firewall blocked your access?  Zamzar can help.  It lets you save files from websites like Youtube, TeacherTube, Google Video, Myspace, and others to your flash drive at home and take them to school.  It is also great for converting files like .wav into .mp3 or other file conversions that may be needed.  The only problem I found is this site does not let you save videos from every site.  I needed to download and edit (shorten) a video I found on a vimeo.com site and zamzar would not work.  I was able to find another site to use, but for most things Zamzar will do the trick. 

So start searching Youtube again for some videos, just make sure what you show is educational sound.
