It seems it’s not possible to download videos from Google anymore – without a bit of specialised software, anyway. I’d relied on this being available for teachers to be able to show my videos in school from a home-made cd.
I’d tried uploading to teachertube before, but I’d found it hard work. Something has changed and their uploading process seems to be working a lot better so I’m duplicating Drawing School on Teachertube. It will take a little while to get it all uploaded, but at least I’ve started.
As I understand it, TeacherTube is generally allowed through school firewalls so you can show my “how to” videos on whiteboards. Please let me know if this works.
Is anyone interested in trying a virtual School Visit on the whiteboard using Skype. Skype is probably banned on your system, so you would need to get clearance to use it, have it installed on your class laptop or whatever you use, and yo would need a skype account too.
