You want to show your class a Netsmartz Internet safety video<\/a> or the “Hero in the Hallway” anti-bullying song<\/a>, but your school’s Internet filtering software blocks YouTube.\u00c2\u00a0 One alternative is to download the video to your computer at home and then bring it to school on a CD-ROM or thumbdrive.\u00c2\u00a0 Here’s how:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Browse to Vixy.net<\/a> or Vconvert.net<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Enter the page address of a YouTube video that you want to download (i.e., http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ACUxJ6fq2IY)<\/li>\n
  3. Select the file format in which you want to save the video (.mov, .avi, etc.)<\/li>\n
  4. Click the “Start” or “Convert and Download” button.<\/li>\n
  5. Wait while the file is converted, and then download it to any location on your hard drive when the download window pops up.<\/li>\n
  6. Transfer the file to a thumbdrive or CD-ROM, then bring it to school and play it for your students through a projector.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you have a laptop that you use at both school and home, you might consider installing Miro<\/a>, a free, open source video viewer.\u00c2\u00a0 Miro works a lot like iTunes, but for video content.\u00c2\u00a0 With Miro you can search for, download, play, and organize video content.\u00c2\u00a0 You can learn more about Miro by watching the Miro demo video<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
