Displaying a Video from Teachertube

John Sutton on October 15th, 2008

Teachertube and Youtube are excellent sources of educational video and it is very simple to embed these videos into your blog. However, be aware that in 99% of schools Youtube will be blocked and so will any embedded video from this source. Teachertube is usually fine, though worth checking first.

If you want to use a video from Youtube in class, I suggest you register at Zamzar.com and use this to download a Youtube video to your PC. This can then be put on a memory stick and taken in to school for use in class.
