**Rhode Island's** [|**GSE'S and GLE'S**]

[|Keepvid] is great. You just put in the URL and download
 * Technology assignments: **
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Assignment: ** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; white-space: pre-wrap;">You Tube is blocked at most public schools yet You Tube is a valuable resource. Search You Tube to locate a video that would help students better understand a concept you are trying to teach (a video that supports your Unit of Study would be better!). Use a file converter website to convert the identified YouTube video so that you can play the video at school. Post the converted video to your personal website. **﻿**

[|HDDownloader] works the same way and requires a plug in

[|ZamZar] is my favorite because not only does it convert videos, it converts many other files as well.
