YouTube+Clips

Hey Everyone,

Well I have been talking with a few people from class and a concern was raised that I thought I might be able to help everyone with. People were concerned with the fact that some of the schools we are placed at right now are not very technologically advanced. Therefore, some of our classrooms are not equipped with smart boards or internet access. This can be a problem if we are trying to incorporate some of the methods of teaching we have been introduced to.

So I just wanted to post this "resource" or website that people can use to download YouTube clips and save them to their computers. This way they can either play clips right from their computer, or hook it up to a projector, or put it on a USB key and take it to school so you can play it there, etc. Hopefully, I can articulate how the process goes without making it sound too difficult because it really is quite easy.

Steps to Saving a YouTube clip:

1) Find the clip you would like to save 2) Copy the URL from the address bar (i.e., []) 3) Go to www.kissyoutube.com 4) Paste the URL into the text box near the top of the page (to the left of the "GO" button) 5) Click the "GO" button

At this point you may get a pop-up that states, "The application's digital signature cannot be verified..." I did a Google search to ensure this website was safe and I found a number of sites that verified it was a safe application. ([], [])
 * NOTE***

6) On the pop-up (if you see one) click the "RUN" button 7) A new page will be displayed showing the YouTube video. Below the video you will see a number of icons (Orange, Blue, and Green) 8) Click the orange icon with the large "HQ" 9) Depending on how your Internet Browser handles downloads you will be asked to save the file or it will automatically download to your computer.

That is pretty much it. After the file is saved to your computer you can play it any time you like without requiring an internet connection. If anybody would like a demonstration or if they found this a bit confusing to follow, just let me know and I can do a little demo next week during a break or lunch or something.

Take care, Steven C.
