YouTube Excisions
I’m writing this post with two groups of people in mind: educators who have found a really great video on YouTube but can’t rely on an Internet connection in their classrooms on the one hand, and on the other, obsessive archivists like me who don’t trust resources to stay put on the Internet forever and want to be able to physically touch the storage device containing a digital copy of that resource, safeguard it for posterity like a deranged but sweetly philanthropic magpie, and then gradually forget about it during the intervening years while the content and media formats grow naturally obsolete anyway. If you don’t fall into either category, this may still be interesting to you. You’re just not as special.
