Deep Links - Starts You Tube Where You Want It to Start

To create a Deep Links:

  1. Locate the video you wish to share
  2. In the video information section (the grey box to the right of the video), copy the text located in the 'URL' box.
  3. Click the 'Share' tab (located below the video).
  4. Paste in the text you copied from the URL box into the message. This text is the video's URL.
  5. Go to the end of the URL and add the time code for the specific time in the video you'd like the viewer to start watching.

For example, if you'd like the viewer to start watching the video at one minute and forty-five seconds into the video, you'd add the following time code to the end of the URL: #t=1m45s . The URL with the Deep Link should appear this way:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc9xq-TVyHI#t=01m45s

Online Conversion Tools

Want to convert a video to a new format or download a video from the web? Online-Convert does that. Do you need to convert an audio file to MP3 or WAV? No problem, Online-Convert has you covered. Need to convert a document to HTML from PDF? Online-ConVert does that too. Those are just a few of the many conversions that you can accomplish with Online-Convert. And you can do all of this without ever entering your email address, Facebook credentials, or any other form of registration.

One of the features of Online-ConVert that I really liked is found in the video conversion tool. Not only can you change the format of the video, butOnline-Convert also allows you to specify the display dimensions of the video you're converting.

Applications for Education
Online-ConVert can be a great resource for teachers who work in schools that use multiple operating systems and need to make media available to all of their students and colleagues regardless of which computer(s) they use. Online-ConVert could also be useful when a student comes to you with a flashdrive containing a document that you cannot open. Finally, Online-ConVert could be used to download videos from the web for classroom use.
