Tips about downloading UTube Videos
Many schools block UTube and this is becoming increasingly frustrating for teachers who want to use some of the excellent educational resources on this site. There are ways to view the videos.
How to Use YouTube Safely
UTube Safety Mode
YouTube is now offering parents and teachers more control over the content they see with the announcement of
Safety Mode. When you opt in to Safety Mode, you're choosing not to see mature videos and comments that aren't against our
Community Guidelines, but may not be appropriate for someone under 18. Like
Google SafeSearch, Safety Mode on YouTube does not remove content from the site but rather keeps it off the page for users who opt in. No filter is 100%, so keep in mind that supervision is still the best parental control.

KICK
You can type the word 'kick' to download YouTube videos. After clicking on the desired video, you insert the word 'kick' in front of the word 'youtube' in the YouTube link (for example: http://www.kickyoutube.com/sarahscoffeemaker1346?). After doing this, you'll be taken to a site that will ask what format you'd like to download the video in, such as MP4 or Flash.
