YouTube in YourClass

Have you noticed the wonderful instructional content posted to YouTube? Are you frustrated that at home you can view this material but in a smart classroom or computer lab on campus it is funky (jerky and slow)?

Kurt Shiflet (Music) stopped by with several Blackboard questions and then asked if other folks are using YouTube? I've got the $15 solution, TubeSock!" he said. "It works great with my Mac and iPod Video." Actually Kurt mentioned that Rob Gore (Theatre) was his inspiration for this purchase.

Another YouTube video capture tool for Macintosh is Videobox (formerly known as FLVR), a stand alone application that works with various web browsers and many online video sites.

There are trial versions of these products for you to sample how you might enhance lectures with downloaded videos.
