Video_Uploading

**How do you upload a video?**
There are several places to upload videos. Places like [|Teacher Tube (http://www.teachertube.com/)], [|Photobucket] [|(http://photobucket.com)], and [|Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/)].

With each of these places, you need to create an account. The example below is the type of information requested to make an account. This one is from Teacher Tube.

Once you make an account. All you need to do is upload the video you made. Let's say you recorded something you did on a smart board during a second period class. You could begin the upload to teacher tube using the amount of time it would take you to open the web site, log on, click upload, browse your computer to find the video you saved, and click upload. Then you go do other things while it uploads (usually takes about 5 minutes depending on the network traffic and length of video).

When you get another minute (and after you see that the video has successfully uploaded) you'll need a few more minutes to open up your wiki page (or blackboard page) to "embed" your video.

Usually, to find the embedding code, you start playing the video. Look around the page for the word **Embed**. Below is an example of the embedding info from teacher tube. Once you find the info you can left click once in the box with the code, right click and copy, and go to either your wikispace or blackboard to paste the embedding code.



In a wikispace you click
1. Edit this page. 2. Click the widget symbol (a pict of a tV) 3. Find the video source (in this case I choose "TeacherTube" 4. Click on the video source icon (for me it's Teacher Tube) 5. Find the box to paste the embedding code into. (either right click and paste or CTRL and V keys to paste) 6. Click save.

Here's a flip video that I just embedded

media type="custom" key="2534803"

**With a blackboard account, the only difference is that:**
1. you find the page you want to modify or create. 2. in the main text box, just paste your code. (you don't have to do anything special - "smart text" knows how to embed the code for you.

Total time //**actually**// spent on recording the video, uploading, and embedding: less than 10 minutes //(2 minutes here - 2 minutes there)// you don't have to sit there and wait the whole time. You can start a step and come back to finish. Of course, the first couple times might take a 15 minutes to a half hour until you feel comfortable with the process.
