Thing #20 Youtube/TeacherTube

Okay...what the heck...I read the directions on how to embed a video, but NO WHERE did it say to click on Edit Html first. Therefore nothing kept coming up. So I finally went to help on the blog and one little line says to click Edit Html before you paste the video in. Wow!

I also found out that you can't put two videos in one posting. If someone knows how to do that let me know. It came up with an error message when I tried it.

I am very familiar with YouTube and TeacherTube but didn't know how to take the video and post it on the blog (obviously)!

I like having the access to so many different resources! Video is so rich! Kids seem to get more from these vs. just plain audio or paper. However, sometimes we have too many resources available and our choices are too many. It can take up more time than just giving one or two choice.

I would use the above video for my little kindergarteners. Perhaps they would like to make their own video and post them on youtube and share with their friends. They can start young!
