Our goal is to provide an online community for sharing instructional

anytime, anywhere professional development with teachers teaching
teachers. As well, it is a site where teachers can post videos designed
for students to view in order to learn a concept or skill. "</font></i><br></blockquote>Joseph Papaleo<br>Ivanhoe Grammar School<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/9/2 Kevork Krozian <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Kroset@novell1.fhc.vic.edu.au">Kroset@novell1.fhc.vic.edu.au</a>></span><br>

<br>
Don't want to veer off topic too much but ...<br>
<br>
Students incorporate video in presentations. Teachers plead for youtube as it has tutorials. Blocking students and allowing teachers was tried, except staff became the foot soldiers for students who wanted to incorporate the relevant movie files which you can save to a clip (flv or mp4) with a multitude of sites ( eg. <a href="http://keepvid.com" target="_blank">keepvid.com</a> ) and then convert to any format you like ( mpeg I or II, avi, wmv ) using a range of online utilities eg. Super Video converter. Currently closed, we open and close youtbube a few times a day and it is a pain.<br>
<br>
Ok, students can bring videos from youtube from home , but why wait until the next day to get something educational and necessary now when we have the technology to get it ? Because others may stray onto the undesirable side of youtube. They can do that with the internet can't they ? Yes, but we log and block known hazards.<br>
<br>
Not all things are black or white. Not satisfactory and I don't have an answer to all the questions related to this -- yet.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best Wishes<br>

<br>
I've made it available to staff, but not kids.<br>
<br>
Somehow (don't ask me) staff were instructed how to save Youtube FLVs<br>
and play them with VLC player so they could show them to kids without<br>
the kids needing Youtube access here at school - too much timewasting<br>
and bandwidth abuse.<br>
