I posted 3 videos that I will be using in my classroom next week with the 5th graders. I think they will really like them. We are starting to look at Aboriginal Artwork. I share with the students my own didgeridoo and we look at the artwork that ribbons around the instrument. I Can't play the digeridoo - but they will be able to hear it being played through the video. I liked how the camera was turned; not sure why, other than maybe it was so that the instrument could fit in the picture?!?
I like the videos, it adds interest into lessons and they give alot of information in a little amount of time.
As I was viewing the videos, I happened to scroll down to look at the comments that were left, and so many were obscene. Why do people have to swear so much when they leave a comment? At least with embedding it into the blog it gets rid of all the comments and extra links to inappropriate material.
The school that I teach at has many things blocked, but I can access (for now) my blog so I am able to play the videos. I tried vixy and it was taking forever so I stopped it and will go back later. I have become impatient with the Internet and waiting after I had upgraded from dial up to dsl. I was going to print a bumper sticker that said "I did my Master's online with Dial up!" I now know I was crazy (and patient) and I think I deserve a medal for it! HA!

That is a GREAT idea for a bumper sticker!
RE: downloading videos-- another way I just discovered is a website called kickyoutube.com Basically, you put the word "kick" in front of "youtube" in the URL of the video you want to download. That takes you to the kickyoutube website where you can download the video as an mp4-- it will play back in Quicktime.
