@http://upsidedownacademy.org/ "The best way to learn is to try to teach" Here is the premise of this site: Example: Getting rid of the haters in 2 and 3 step equations.
 * __Upsidedown Academy__ **
 * 1) Learn something.
 * 2) Pay attention to what you find confusing.
 * 3) Come up with a way to make it less confusing / more fun for the next person
 * 4) It can be a blog post, video, dance song, whatever.
 * 5) Create a lesson and make it a little easier for the next person.

__Some other ideas__: > Connecting music video content to your lessons: //Thanks to John MacDonald for these suggestions//
 * How it should have ended. Adding alternated endings to short stories etc.
 * Vlogging or video blogging
 * Music videos & minds on activities
 * News reports on the band
 * Making connections to lyrics
 * Making inferences based on CD covers
 * Rick Mercer rants.

**Capturing Video and Audio from YouTube**

There are a number of online YouTube downloaders. Most of them are not great. One that I have been using is YTD Video Downloader:

**Sharing Videos**

__Class YouTube Channel__


 * Easy to set up.
 * You can create a playlist to keep other YouTube videos you are using with your class all in one spot.
 * The only concern is your student videos are now public. They can be seen by anyone.

__Upsidedown Academy__


 * Although videos here will not receive the same traffic as YouTube they are still public.
 * The premise of this site is instructional content. If this is the focus of your student videos this is a great place to share. However if you are just wanting to share student work you will need to find a different solution.

__D2L__

> YouTube Link > One Drive Link > YouTube Link > One Drive Link > YouTube Link > One Drive Link > YouTube Link > One Drive Link > One Drive Link > YouTube Link > One Drive Link > YouTube Link > One Drive Link
 * If there are concerns with outside eyes viewing student work by students or parents another option is D2L.
 * Videos can easily be inserted using the Insert Stuff tool.
 * The setback is, only students with access to the course will be able to view these videos. || =**Videos**=
