Kahoot is featured at the end of nearly every Best of the Web presentation that Richard Byrne gives. Kahoot provides a fun way to gather feedback from a group through their phones, iPads, Chromebooks, or any other device that has a web browser and an Internet connection.

6.  Save your YouTube Videos to Google Drivehttp://www.labnol.org/internet/save-youtube-videos-to-google-drive/28793/
The important point is how do you get your original video files from YouTube for uploading to other websites? There’s an option available inside Google Takeout that will not only let you download your YouTube videos in their original high-resolution but also saves the files directly to your Google Drive. Thus, you can start the download process and it will save all your files, big and small, to Google Drive in the background. Once the files are in Drive, they’ll automatically sync to your desktop that you can later upload to other video websites.

There are so many great resources for educators and students. Steve provides a slideshow presentation of his favourite cool tools in this post.
