Inspire with Media
Adding Youtube clips to your Flipchart. There are several ways to do this and below offers three choices.

1) If you are in a learning environment that opens up access to Youtube a simple hyperlink to the Youtube clip can be made in the flipchart. This involves finding the you tube clip and while watching it copy the URL address > Then return to your Active Inspire flipchart page > select Tools from the top left menu > Insert > Hyperlink

2) I would never advise linking directly to Youtube in class even if you have access. The comments and related videos surrounding the clip in Youtube can easily put a teacher in an awkward situation. An alternative is to use SafeShareTV to stream the video but remove the unnnecessary content.

Once you have createed an alternative URL in SafeShare follow Step 1 above on how to insert a hyperlink.

3) Extract the video from Youtube to store on your own hard drive. This has a number of benefits including being more cyber safe, and never loosing a link to a video because the author removed the video clip from Youtube. Please remember to include reference to the video author either at the bottom of the flipchart page or at the end the flipchart.

This involves finding the you tube clip and while watching it copy the URL address > Then open a site known as Keepvid to extract the video and download it for you to your hard drive.
