Converting Files

The most frequent question I am asked is to do with "how do I use YouTube videos in my work"?. I have been pointing people to Zamzar which does the neat trick of converting the YouTube URL to a downloadable WMV file OR if you just want the audio it will convert it to an MP3. This this is a very handy tool!

YouCovertIt is another useful online conversion tool. Try them out at home and see what you can produce!
