Okay, the above isn't really a question, but I know teachers with problems showing videos all over. The church typically relies on the very lowest bandwidth residential connections it can get, which causes problems for a media-hungry curriculum like Come Follow Me. The Come Follow Me site has a page that teaches you how to avoid the bandwidth crush as several teachers try to display the same videos during class at the same time.
First go to your desired video.
You'll see the download links for individual videos like this on the Come Follow Me site:
and at http://biblevideos.lds.org/ like this:
Click on the download link and be sure to save it somewhere you can find it again.
After the video downloads, TEST it. You should be able play the video directly on your computer automatically, but always test. You don't want to discover during your lesson that there was a playback or downloading problem.
If you want to view the videos bigger during class, you can
- output from your laptop to newer televisions by a video output cable
- set up the unit projector (not recommended for Sunday use if you have more than one unit meeting in your building — too many people to fight!)
- burn a DVD of the downloaded video and play it on the DVD player and TV at your church – RECOMMENDED
If you plan to use videos fairly frequently, you can download
as a single archive from the above links. Start it downloading before bed and when you wake up you'll have all the videos ready to go ahead of time for your lessons. Problem solved.
I'd suggest that Sunday School presidencies download all these video files for all their teachers and provide each with a DVD. They'd love you forever and ever! Stake leaders could do the same as well and provide DVDs at leadership trainings.
