Showing YouTube videos on Moodle when YouTube is banned
Here's another practical problem that Liz has presented us with: she's found a couple of really good eye witness amateur videos of the disaster. She's got permission from the owner (very important) to use them in her Moodle course, but she can't show them because our school won't allow us to access YouTube! How do we solve that one?
The answer is to wait until we get home and then download the video onto our own computer. Then we can upload it as a regular file into our Moodle course.
There are several ways of downloading YouTube videos. Some of them require you to install something on your own computer, while others ask you for an e-mail address to send you the video. But the one we're going to use here gives us the video pretty much instantaneously.
