I use this blog as an instructional tool and as a personal repository of digital objects. The blocking of YouTube is a hinderance to my potential audience of teacher-librarians within my division. My division works around the YouTube issue by providing staff with a repository called WebFiles.
To view video found on YouTube I had to follow this process:
1) Video on YouTube can be downloaded using the UnPlug application;
2) The .flv content was then converted to QuickTime (.mov) using Zamzar;
3) After downloading the converted material from Zamzar, I uploaded the QuickTime movies to Webfiles (access available only to Regina Public teachers)
4) Finally, I copied the newly created hyperlinks into my blog, which Edublogs interprets into a video player.
The Common Craft movies are nicely created to explain wikis and RSS:
