This assignment requires you to go to You Tube and pull a video off of there and save it to your computer without purchasing items to do so. I like viewing the videos of the animals doing math. Here is a link to the you tube video of a horse doing square roots. I always wonder how long it took people to train these horses to do the problems.
I actually did not have any idea how to save this video to my computer. I used Bing to find an answer. The answer to my question led me to KeepVid. This website allows you to download the video in any format that you choose. You do not have to register or pay to use this service. You can use the get the URL link at the bottom of your you tube video and insert it in the box on KeepVid. This video was in 3GPP format on you tube and I downloaded it to my computer in MP3 format. This allowed me to save the video on my desktop and view it with Windows Media Player. You would use this feature to download a video to your computer in case you tube took the video down, the owner of the video took it down, or the internet was down you would still have access to this video. I have not put a video in a PowerPoint presentation but with this feature you can download the you tube video to your computer and then include your video in your presentation. You would want to download a video you would like to use just in case the video cannot be found on the internet. You would then have a hard copy on your computer. This task was a little easier than I thought it would be.
This assignment involves standards 1, 2 and 3 of the ISTE NETS Standards.
