There are several reasons someone might wish to have a YouTube video on a hard drive rather than viewing it from the YouTube website. Perhaps YouTube is blocked, as it is in many schools, or perhaps the video needs to be shared where there will be no Internet access; maybe it would simply be better to have it stored locally for use in a PowerPoint or other presentation.

I shared in an earlier post a site that would let you download YouTube videos. This post from Free Technology for Teachers provides descriptions of and links to some additional sites, as well as a link to alternatives to YouTube. This will give you some other options.

Free Technology for Teachers is another of my favorite blogs to watch.
