New TechTip of the Week
If you haven't already tried Zamzar.com, you MUST try it. I just found 2 great educational videos on YouTube, which I wanted to share with my students. As we all know, it just isn't possible to access YouTube from school so I copied the URL from each video, pasted it in the Zamzar program, then Zamzar downloaded the video, formatted it, and sent it back to me in my email. I saved both videos onto my flash drive for later use. The best part is it was FREE! Be aware when sending videos to Zamzar, you must be careful in choosing the correct format you want the company to use when sending the video back to you. I use the wmv format.

Sounds like we finally found a way to watch educational videos from you tube at Whitewater Middle School. Thanks for doing the hard part, Bonnie.
Bonnie,
Thank you so much for sharing this one. Wow--it converts to every format--doc/image/video/music.
Amazing to me. What a resource to have available when I'm working with movie maker or other video software--I don't have to worry about the extra time it takes to figure out how I'm going to convert a file. Diane
It is so funny that you would talk about this.. I just used Zamzar yesterday to convert a youtube video into a wmv file so that I could show it in Windows Media Player! I love Zamzar!!!
Bonnie, Thanks very much for this site. I can't wait to share it, especially since we have classes using movie maker coming up. Come to think if it..we learn a huge amount by sharing this information through our class blogs. Thanks, RobertW
I love Zamzar. It will convert many different types of files. I have used it for music and video conversions.
