Youtube has a new video editor

YouTube has launched a new video editor.  It allows you to trim videos that you find on YouTube or mix together videos that you have uploaded to YouTube. This could be very useful if you find a video on the site that you want to use in class but you only require particular segments of it. You may also find multiple videos that you would like to merge together as one and then download.

Richard Byrne, a fellow blogger that I follow, has created a very simple tutorial that explains how to use it. You can access that tutorial here http://docs.google.com/present/view?id=df6bwk2v_552gj98kwf9

100 Best Youtube Videos for Educators

I came across this listing of the 100 best youtube videos for eductators and wanted to share it with everyone. As we all know, youtube.com is blocked in our schools for many reasons. Did you know that you can download youtube videos from your computer at home for free! My favorite resource to do this is www.keepvid.com . All you have to do is

1. Find the video you like on youtube.


2. Copy the URL address of the vidoe.


3. Go to www.keepvid.com


4. Past the URL of the video into the URL bar at the top of the page and click download.


5. You will be prompted to download the video.


6. You can then bring the video to school on a flash drive.


7. You can play the video from your computer, insert it into a powerpoint or smart  notebook project.

Here is the link to the 100 best youtube videos for educators. Enjoy!
