Override. Download. Link. Embed.

 * Don't be afraid to use your override power, but use it wisely. It is best not to use a blanket override for an entire lab.
 * Override to access the content. Once you have the material you need, you can download, link to, or embed the content. (If you are embedding Youtube, you must override YouTube first for it to be viewable.) Also, when getting the embed code, you may need to check the box for the old embed code in YouTube.
 * Be flexible in your method of delivery. You can add clips to presentations, Edmodo, and wikis.
 * Clips save time. Instead of showing the whole movie, you deliver targeted content to your audience.

** Ways To Use YouTube Videos In The Classroom: **

 * Warm Ups/Bell Ringers
 * Writing Prompts
 * Illustrations
 * Lesson Intros or Transitions
 * Guided Activities

** They can even be used in the elementary classroom! **
