Vingt (Thing 20): YouTube/TeacherTube/Zamzar

There are so many reasons to use YouTube and TeacherTube. Teachers can find videos to help introduce or reinforce lessons. Librarians and teachers alike also grab ideas for lessons from videos. Librarians can find videos like this one:

to show teachers they are passionate about doing more than just circulating books.

I haven't tried Zamzar yet, but I have tried other video conversion sites. I was successful at pulling audio, but not at downloading both video and audio. Maybe my old computer didn't have enough memory to complete the process. Hopefully my laptop will be able to convert the whole video w/ audio.
