WatchKnow

Originally posted in November 2009, but stumbled across WatchKnow again today, and wanted to share this site again.  It is worthy of a re-post!


As I've written, I will continue to use this blog to post new ideas and tips that I stumble upon.  The latest neat site that I heard about this week is a clearinghouse for educational videos.  The site has organized any educational videos from anywhere on the web (YouTube, TeacherTube, etc...) by subject.  They are rated by other educators using the site.  If you find an educational video that you deem worthy, you can submit it to be included on WatchKnow.


Check it out:

If you have problems with the site being blocked, we've discussed before resources for downloading streaming videos to .flv files to save and bring back to school via a flash drive or attach to an email to yourself.  Sites for this are:
http://www.keepvid.com/
http://www.vixy.com/


OR if you've downloaded the latest version of RealPlayer, it will automatically put a little control bar in the top right corner of a video you are viewing that allows you to download the clip.  Once you've downloaded it, you can open your RealPlayer library, right click on the video file, and change the file's location to your flash drive or desktop to attach to email.
