I use idesktop.tv which allows downloading of videos in a variety of formats.<br />
<br />
For posting of student videos, I use VIMEO...best site for this because of the quality of videos and the community...no inappropriate videos here. But, best of all, is the embedding tool. I can post password protected videos on our blog and students can access the video on the blog--they are <u>not redirected</u> nor do they need to join the community to view. They do need to join if they want to download. Vimeo Plus…

Thanks for this information. We are just starting to use the internet in school (a small Catholic school) and I was concerned about our blocking software possibly blocking videos I've posted for my history class.

I agree; I use Zamar a lot! Zamzar also does file conversions for all types of files, not just video. So when someone send you a file created in a software application that you cannot open, you can use Zamzar to convert the file to a type you can open and edit. For example, this can be very useful if a student writes a paper at home using, say, WordPerfect or Works, and bring their work back to school on a CD or Jump Drive. If the school has Word, the file might open in text editor and the…

For example, this can be very useful if a student writes a paper at home using, say, WordPerfect or Works, and bring their work back to school on a CD or Jump Drive. If the school has Word, the file might open in text editor and the formatting may be lost; I've even seen work from old computer programs be totally turned into ASCII code. Now, when we have these issues, we just upload that file to Zamzar and have it converted to a .doc (or .docx) file. Takes a little time, but definitely worth the trouble for the student's sake - and the teacher's!<br />
For grabbing and converting video files, there is a newer site called Keep Vid - the advantage of this one is that the converted video file lands back on your desktop and you don't have to go through the e-mail loop to get your converted file. Find this one at: <a href="http://keepvid.com/">http://keepvid.com/</a><br />

If I want to use a video from YouTube I just load the URL into <a href="http://zamzar.com">http://zamzar.com</a>. In a few hours (it's not instantaneous) they send you a new URL. I then can upload the videos to my students' blog or to one of my curriculum websites. Easy peasy.

Are there any plans to link edublogs.tv with blogs on edublogs.org?<br />

I can see this as a great help for the classroom.

Thanks for the heads-up on edublog.tv site. I had found a bunch of videos in YouTube and had the urls for them but was nervous about sharing them since other video "teasers" with inappropriate content were shown/available at the urls.
