Teaching Videos

If Youtube is blocked by your school's Internet filtering, you can download the videos at home or by using another Internet connection. Here's how:

1) Find the video on Teaching Videos and click on 'View Original Video'

2) You will then be taken to the site where the video was originally hosted.

3) If the video is hosted on Youtube, you need to change the URL in your browser's address bar by adding the word 'kick' in front of 'youtube.com'...

Then press Enter / Return.

4) When the KickYoutube site loads, follow the instructions below:

5) The file will then download. You can then open it in a media player at school, or embed it in your interactive whiteboard software (e.g. Smart Notebook).

Alternative ways of downloading Youtube videos:

• Copy the URL and paste it into the 'Download Videos' box at www.zamzar.com. Zamzar will email you with a link to download the video file once it has been converted.
• Firefox users can install Greasemonkey and the Youtube downloader script to download videos directly in their browsers.
