The following video was comic relief.
How It`s Made: Fireman`s Hat
2. I downloaded a video from Zamzar and it worked. It sent me an email fairly quickly maybe because it is 5 in the morning and everyone is sleeping in considering it is Easter morning. Have a Hoppy Easter!!! Save some candy for the kids.
3. I have used video streaming in my classroom in conjunction with the lessons I am teaching. It is nice because I can play certain segments without playing the entire video. When we learned about the sun I played some segments from"The MagicSchool Bus" talking about stars from streaming video. A word to the wise preview a video for appropriate content and age appropriateness before showing. What cracks me up is whenever I turn my tv on to show a streaming video or dvd the Jerry Springer show pops up on my classroom tv (talk about content). Now I start the video then turn the tv on. YouTube is blocked at our district. I guess we have had to many issues with it - thats to bad because it has a lot of educational stuff too - Zamzar &Vixy will come in handy.

Your comment about Jerry Springer made me chuckle! Schools worry about internet content so much, yet cable brings some inappropriate content into the classroom as well, yet no one talks about blocking it! Ironic?
