Youtube

I have noticed that most school systems block youtube from school computers because of the content contained on the website. While much of the content is inappropriate, there are educational resources on these websites like youtube that would be beneficial for the class. The question becomes how do you get these resources into the classroom when the content is blocked? I went to google and typed in that question. I found a video here that discussed downloading youtube videos. I followed the directions on the video, but I could not get the website savevid.com to work. After that failed, I watched another video here that sent me to a website called media-convert.com. I could not get this website to work as well. I found a third video discussing downloading youtube videos here. This video sent me to realplayercafe.com. I followed the instructions and downloaded the free version of realplayer. I went back to youtube and this time it worked! I downloaded the video entitled "The Machine is Us/ing Us (Final Version)" and uploaded it onto my ftp site here. I can download any video on youtube and can play it as long as the student has the free version of real player.
