Tubesnack

Tubesnack is a website that allows you to compile YouTube or personal videos and share them on the Internet for your own personal web page, or to curate a video clip collection.   It is free but like most web 2.0 tools, there is also a paid membership option.  I am curious to see if this could work in our district where YouTube videos are blocked.  Here's the address if you want to check it out.  http://www.tubesnack.com/ 

The company also features website creation services, banner makers, flip books, photo slide shows, pod casting, quiz making, pdf displays, and file sharing "snack" options.

  1. Great find. I have never heard of this. My guess is that it just collects links to YouTube videos, meaning that they would still be blocked by your district's filter. You can use a tool like Firefox Download Helper to download the YouTube videos to your computer (while at home, not where the filter can get you). Once you have the actual videos on your computer, you can show them without worrying about the filter.

    1. Thanks for the tip about Firefox Download helper. My team and I were always able to find video clips we could use on YouTube, but had a hard time navigating around the district filter.

  2. Kate, I really like the idea of making your own collection from all over the web. THat way you have them and don't have to search for it everytime you want to use it. This is espescially helpful since so many sites in our county are blocked.

    1. Thanks for commenting Patty- I thought this tool could be helpful- and they have many more tools through their main page that we could probably also use.
