English Web Tip: Want to show a great clip you've found on Youtube or Google Videos but have slow or non-existent wireless in your classroom? The answer is to save the clip on your hard-drive when you do have a good internet connection and then play it from your hard-drive in class. How do you do this? There are many sites that will save video files from video sites such as You Tube for you quickly and for free. Here are two:
What do you do? When you find a video you like, copy the URL (the address for that video in the internet address bar), visit one of the two sites above, and paste the address into the place where they clearly direct you to do it. After this, you will be given a number of options for saving the file. MP4 is the best option.
As a practice, checkout this funny short film called 'Dangle' - it's great to use from Year 7 -12 to spark discussion about our attitude to the environment (and to fill in 20 minutes on a Friday afternoon!).
