Beijing Opening Ceremonies
I am looking for a complete video (YouTube?) of the Beijing Opening Ceremonies to use as part of the history of China unit in 9th grade. I think it would be a visual way to show the early history of China. Any ideas? It isn’t on TeacherTube and NBC doens’t seem to have a complete version of it? I can’t find anything on YouTube.

I’m WAY behind in my blog reading. Plus Google Reader is acting funny. It hasn’t showed me any of your new posts till today. Weird.
Anyway – you can convert YouTube videos into a format that most computers can handle and then download it to your computer. I can’t remember the name of the program right now – but I know where I can find it at school. The question will be – can the white boxes handle the file? I think the white boxes will be replaced soon. Fingers crossed.
Hope you and your family enjoyed the rest of the summer.

Whoops. I read your post too quickly. I thought you already knew there was a Youtube video. Did you ever find it? A quick search of YouTube provided some 2-4 minute clips. Haven’t found the whole thing yet. We might have to purchase it. If you find it somwhere to purchase, let me know. Our BOCES School Library System IMC will order it for you I am sure. I will start hunting around.
