KeepVid (http://keepvid.com/)
This website enables you to harvest video off of YouTube and other popular video sharing websites, allowing you to see these videos without Internet access--perfect for research projects and for conference presentations. You can choose from four or so formats, depending on the video, as well as different resolutions--in case file size is an issue. All you have to do is copy the URL of the video and paste it into KeepVid's website. Follow the directions and the video is yours.
Web2pdf (http://www.web2pdfconvert.com/)
Exactly what it says. It converts websites into pdf documents. What this means for you as an instructor is that you can save sites for use in instruction...whether for handouts, examples, information...anything you could normally do with a document is now something you can do with a website. The website is now available offline and can be read not only in paper but also on many mobile devices, such as a Kindle or iPod Touch. An invaluable tool that can only expand the reaches of your instruction.
As a bonus, here is the web2pdf of our blog here, current as of August 30th. It is hosted on Google Docs.
