YouTube Downloader
YouTube is a resource for video clips online but it is not moderated with children in mind and so is not suitable as a resource in the classroom. However, it does have many useful clips on it that are up to date and relevant.
http://www.youtube.com/
For this reason, this small piece of software is excellent. You can find the video clip you want to use away from the children and download it onto your hard drive or pen drive. Then it can be played, in isolation, using media player / real player etc in the classroom. It can also be left on the desktop for ease of location.
You can download this free software from...

Connecting the Interactive Planning Tool to the internet
By default the interactive planning tool (IPT) is configured to connect directly to the internet. Some networks are configured to connect to the internet through a proxy server.
If you are able to connect successfully to the internet using your preferred web browser but are unable to do so using the interactive planning tool it may be that your browser is set up to use a proxy server. If this is the case you will need to configure the interactive planning tool with the proxy server settings.
This section describes how to review your proxy settings and how to configure the IPT to use these settings.
You can easily check your proxy server settings in your web browser by following the steps detailed below.
