PLN: Video Grabber
So this website is a little sketchy but it is so useful. Video Grabber is aside that will pull the video file from a website. Websites like youtube hold fantastic videos for the classroom. Classroom can use performances, recordings and even "lesson helpers". While on youtube though, you can see the ads and comments, which aren't always appropriate. Youtube should never be brought up in the classroom. Video grabber takes just the video and saves it to your computer as a file. This can then be shared in any way. Recently, I used it to insert a movie into a keynote. Without this site, it is very hard to embed in anything that isn't still on the internet. Reinstating something said earlier, this isn't the nicest website around, but it gets the job done. A job which few other websites will do.

These kinds of tools are useful, but be careful about ripping copyrighted material. This is a good way to be able to show youtube clips in class without having to see the ads and rude comments people make.
