getting round 'youtube'

I am a primary school teacher and have found a great musical video of goldilocks and the three bears on 'youtube' (by 'onceburned'). I would love to show this to the kids. I have internet access in the classroom via an interactive whiteboard but unfortunatley 'youtube' is a banned site at school and this cannot be removed.

Anyone got an idea how I can get a copy of the video without having to go through 'youtube'?

Cheers!

    In your TIF folder, it'll be in there as a .flv file.

    Burn it to CD.

    Could you play it if it were embedded in a webpage or does everything from Youtube get blocked?
    You could easily just embed it in a webpage.

    Can you play downloaded files?

    If so, enter the address of the youtube page its on here and follow the instructions.

    To play it you need a player capable of playing .flv files
    I'd recommend VLC
    A portable version is here if you are not allowed to install software
  • That is one useful site - thanks

    I meant like here. It took me under 5 minutes.

    I just -
    1. Went to blogger and setup a new blog.
    2. When the option to create a new post came up clicked to Edit Html of the post.
    3. Went to YouTube and copied the "Embed" code from beside the video (in this case just a random video from the front page)
    4. Paste it into the blogger post
    The disadvantage is that you can't have it fullscreen
