The following screencasts were created specifically for our Early Years teachers and dealt with four key issues before we could use the blogs:
How do I LOGIN to my Class Blog?
How do I add TEXT, LINKS and PHOTOS to my Class Blog?
How do I loose the Blogger 'feel' and make the Class Blog my own?
As the Early years teachers have learned how to run a blog and effectively post to it, other questions about how we embed media have come up. In particular, how we EMBED a VIDEO on Blogger. The Blogger feature that allows you to upload a video, like a picture or graphic, is not the best. Often the process degrades the video and the final result is not great. The alternative to this is to upload the video to YouTube and embed it to the blog from there. The screencasts below were created for the RDS Early Years Teachers but could apply to anyone wanting upload a video clip to YouTube and embed it in a blog post.
How do I upload a video clip to YouTube?
How do I Embed a Video clip from YouTube on my Class Blog?
EXTRA! How do I download a video from YouTube?
It has been a pleasure setting up the class blogs for all 14 Early Years classes at GEMS Royal Dubai School. Each blog give us clear insight to the children's experiences, learning and achievements that happens in each class. For our parents this is essential. Here's a sample of what they see.
