Add comments to the video you embedded. Why did you select it? Were you also able to download a video?
I selected this short video on The Louisiana Purchase to share because it gives some important historical information in a nutshell. It is not flashy (I found the flashy ones to be historically inaccurate or biased) but the visuals, especially the map, will give students a focus at the beginning of my unit on Westward Expansion. The facts are accurate and will help to dispel some common misconceptions students have about this important land deal and what it meant to the United States.
I actually had difficulties embedding the video but it had nothing to do with YouTube. I didn’t realize that the Thunderstorm knocked out my wireless. Now, my keyboard shortcuts aren’t working to copy and paste. It took me some time to figure out both of those problems. I am going to post this blog then attempt a download. I’ll post my results in a reply.

I was able to download YouTube videos using KeepVid. It was very easy to simply follow the directions on their homepage.
ReplyDeleteI have bookmarked this site because I've always had difficulty downloading and then playing videos from YouTube using a kicker. It always required another program to play them once they were downloaded so this is a great find. Thanks!
