Get A Video

It is so frustrating to count on being able to view a YouTube video and then run into problems either because YouTube has been blocked due to SOL testing, slow internet, or, the worst case scenario, the internet is down.  The internet at our school has been unreliable.  I have started downloading all videos I plan to share using Dirpy - Internet DVR - YouTube to MP3 Converter and Video Downloader
It is super easy to use.  I highly recommend it.

STEP 1:  Copy and paste URL into the dirpy website, click dirpy!.

A new screen is displayed and in the Record Video section on the left side you click video quality "High-360p.mp4 and your video is downloaded to your machine and, if you want, you can then copy it to a USB.
