Hi there,
Having trouble with streaming video (YouTube, Vimeo, etc) at HERH. Former
school computer technician Rick Negus has provided us with a solution. Youtube
downloader
1) Copy the file youtube downloader 4.7 from our shared drive to your flash
drive.
2)Open the link/video you wish to copy.
3)Open the downloader - you may have to copy the video link to the
downloader.
4) Check where you wish to save the file (best bet is your flash drive.
)
5)Hit download.
With luck - your video will be saved to your flash drive.. Use VLC for best
playback results. Further instructions are available in the folder you copied.
This app is also available in IOS and Android. If you need help with this
please feel free to drop by the library and ask for assistance.
With that in mind, Heather Mumford has provided me with an excellent movie
streaming site called Snagfilms. It offers many excellent documentaries and
biographies (including the films - One Week Job & Supersize Me, and various
National Geographic features) For best viewing results the Chrome Browser is
recommended. http://www.snagfilms.com/films/
Looking for an excellent site to learn new ideas for education/professional
development - TeacherCast (A Place for Teachers to Help Other Teachers) could be
the answer. It offers podcasts & video on the very latest in the education
field from discussions with prominent educators, to hints and advice on using
technology & various apps in your classroom. Give it a try...!!

are also available for you IOS and Android devices.

An archive of these tips, video sites, etc is maintained on the HERH
Library Blog at http://herhlibrary.blogspot.ca/
