Have you ever found something on You Tube that you want to share with your students, but hate the links on the right hand side? I sure have. I remember finding a great video called "The States of Matter" where glass blowers showed students how they took glass in powdered form, heated it to a gooey stage, then cooled it to form their solid shape. It even asked questions and gave a ten second pause for students to answer. It was perfect for my students to view during our science unit on solids, liquids, and gas. My students loved it, and wanted me to post it on my school website. I didn't want them to see the links on the side and view something that wasn't appropriate. Then I discovered ss.
If you find a video you want to share with your students, you can type the letters "ss" after the www. and hit enter. It takes you to a site called savefrom.net that allows you to download the video to your computer. It offers several formats for the download; I always chose the MP4 360p version.
Once you download your movie, you can save it to Google docs to access it from school. (ss is blocked in our district so do this at home)
Hope this helps you share information with your students in a safe format!
