Our county office of education has a proxy server that filters content for all of our districts to keep in CIPA compliance. Like many places in the country, this means you cannot access YOUTUBE at school. Now that so many great educational and instructional videos are showing up on YouTube, this creates frustration for teachers. As a work-around, you have to download the videos as stand-alones at home and then upload them to a server or virtual disk - or store them on a pen drive.
I've experimented with different ways of downloading the videos and I finally settled on a methodology that I like.
KEEP VID (want it, keep it)...resides on your browser toolbar and captures the video when you type in the URL for that page. Then, WIMPY FLV PLAYER turns it into a file which can be played on either a Mac or PC.
