Kick YouTube is a website that allows users to download videos from YouTube.
This is particularly useful for teachers as it allows them the flexibility of having the video resources of Youtube at their full disposal.
Check it out here – we won’t take you through the steps here – but there is a step by step guide on the site itself
Once you have the video downloaded to your machine you are able to incorporate it into keynote presentations, vodcasts, or even edit them to build your own video presentations and movies.
Tools such as this open doors for creative student exercises. As an example; you could give your students a copy of the Martin Luther King ‘I have a dream’ speech which has been edited in iMovie and is out of sequence. It could then be the task of the children to put the speech back in order and then provide their own video introduction discussing the significance of the speech.
Have fun and remember if you find it on YouTube why not kick it!
(PS, we trust that you are going to use this skill to create and develop resources and not publicly publish material that might led to copyright infringement! Here is a useful website which outlines the do and do nots regarding YouTube videos and copyright.)
