__**Add YOU Tube videos:**__ First you need to access YOU TUBE from a location outside of a DCSD school. Our internet filter blocks this site because all content is not filtered for educational appropriateness. All you have to do is go to a video in YouTube, (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK2_R235wlM ) and add "kick" to the URL (e.g. http://www.kickyoutube.com/watch?v=fK2_R235wlM ) this will add a toolbar to the web page where you can select the video format you want the video converted to and then provide you a download link to download the video. It does a really good job of converting the videos and has a good selection of formats. The mp4 format will work for iTunes and iPods. If you go to **http://www.kickyoutube.com** there is a simple screencast on the site that illustrates how it works.

__**SMART TeacherTube site:**__ See the power of using SMART products in a variety of learning environments with this collection of videos created by teachers and SMART staff. Over 100 user-created videos available.
