Downloading You Tube Videos




This site contains many you tube videos that are blocked by the schools server. One way to view the videos is to download the videos and convert to a useful format. Zamzar.com is a free site that allows you to download the videos and be able to show in class.
  1. Go to zamzar.com
  2. Click on download videos.
  3. Copy the URL of the you tube video.
  4. Choose the format of your liking. I choose wmv since the school uses Microsoft products.
  5. Enter your email address and within couple of minutes you will receive an email about downloading the video.
  6. Download the video and save to your computer or a portable hard drive

WVDE Webtop

Those of you that teach in West Virginia and are wanting to get YouTube videos unblocked then you can submit for a unblocking request. Click here for a tutorial on how to request a unblock of a YouTube video. Be sure to look at the video thoroughly and to also view the description and the comments before submission. I will provide the link to get to the WVDE Webtop so that you can start submitting requests.
