[Year 12 IT Apps] YouTube down the tubes?

[Roland Gesthuizen]

They should try converting that list to the 40+ languages spoken at my
school. I remember when the principal at our sister school in Japan was most
politely filtered out because of his middle name. :-)

A polite student grabbed these files for me from home, later set up a forum,
sneakernet with USB keys and a mobile phone with too many features took over
there. I now have a Network public shared directory / Moodle drop folder to
collect these contributions. The entire point of the **Internet design was
multiple redundancy and automatic re-routing around damage, I guess it is
happening here.

VLCPlayer nicely handles the FLV files created when you use a Firefox addon
to save videos downloaded from TeacherTube or YouTube. We now have this on
all the school computers.

Regards Roland
