KeepVid (free) allows you to download videos from many places (including YouTube, Flickr, TED, Vimeo and more) and then show in your classroom.

It's an iPad program for teachers and students. If a school has a iPad cart, the iPads are distributed to a class of students and then the teacher uses his/her iPad to push PPt's, movies, documents to the students individual iPads.

The teacher obtains a roster of students participating and see how each is doing with the lesson tasks.
