Appropriate a Video that has been Removed

What I did: First thing I did was to go to YouTube, found a video of Frank Sinatra (see the post below) and embedded it to my blog.  Doing that was a simple matter--I right-clicked in the center of the image, copied the embed code, then pasted it to my blog page.  Eddie was pleased with my selection.

Referring to the assignment, I went searching for how to view a video that has been Removed.  I'm not all that likely to do that, but if I do, I have some references.  Click here to find out what I found out about viewing this type of video.

What I Learned:  Some of my classmates mentioned TeacherTube.  I didn't know that this existed, but I checked out this site.  I don't think my school district will have an issue with TeacherTube.
Also, I realized that I don't have to have all the answers myself, it is ok to borrow from others who have "blazed a trail".  There is a wealth of information in the form of text and images online at YouTube to answer any problem that might come up

NETS-T:  .This assignment aligns with:
- Standard 4a,which states that teachers will:  "advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources."  All of the solutions I found were safe, legal and ethical.  I credited sources.  I would teach students about respect for the digital community when seeking information.
-Standard 4b, which states that teachers will "address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-center strategies providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources."  It might be important for a student to gain access to a digital communication that , for some reason, is no longer available.

How it Can be Used:  I can use TeacherTube and YouTube more often in  my classes (and not be such an old fogey teacher!).

I found this amusing YouTube video "in my travels":
