To use these videos in your flipcharts simply:
1. Click on the movie you wish to view.
2. Copy the URL at the top of the movie window.
3. Use insert / website aste it into your flipchart.
If you wish I will burn you a CD of all these movies so you can use them in your Powerpoint presentations. Over the summer I plan on making more movies and searching YouTube/Teacher Tube for more video clips.
