Week+1

This is really neat. I use something similar to kickyoutube. In schools where youtube may be blocked I love being able to download the file to my computer and then playing it at school later. Plus you don't have to worry about a failed network. -CG

 * Pick 1:** KickYouTube - As you all know, YouTube is a vast library of videos for all content areas. As a teacher, you search YouTube to find multimedia clips that would be fabulous resources for your classroom. However, YouTube is most likely filtered or blocked in your school. KickYouTube is a tool that offers an easy way to download (save) YouTube videos to your computer so that you can show them in your classroom---even if you aren't connected to the Internet.

1. Go to youtube.com 2. Locate the desired video 3. Play part of the video to make sure it is working
 * Getting Started:**

1. Move your mouse into your browser address (URL) window 2. Insert the word "kick" in front of "youtube" in the URL 3. Press the "Enter" key on your keyboard 4. When the page loads you will see the KickYouTube toolbar
 * Loading KickYouTube:**

1. Click to select the desired format and then click the "Go" button at the right side of the bar 2. KickYouTube will take a little time to process. When it is finished, the green "Go" button will change to a blue download button. 3. Right click the blue download button and choose "save link as" 4. This will open a window that will allow you to save the video to the desired location on your computer.
 * Saving the Video:**


 * Pick 2**: **Cloud Trip** - This is a good site to find many web based applications. The site is also broken down into categories so you can easily search through the applications.


 * Pick 3:** Jog the Web - This site allows you to create a synchronous guide to a series of web sites. I found it very helpful when trying to find resources on certain topics. You can create your own jog or you can search through pre-made jogs. This is great to use with your students!
