Embedding Video

Just finished a short video project on Oedipus, and I discovered how easy it is to embed a YouTube or Vimeo movie on my blog. All you have to do is copy and paste the code in the message you are about to post. (It is a little easier to do this with Vimeo because the "embed" option is just right of the movie frame.)

I thought it might provide some incentive to have a teacher announce he was going to post the best 1 or 2 as a kind of contest. This also might be a good way for classes in different places to see each other's results in a more organized fashion than just sending YouTube links. (I know that I am going to set-up a family blog for my tech-wary mother in Charlotte to check current messages, videos and pictures.)

Ah, I actually did the same thing with that Achilles vs. Hector video we found in class. Unfortunately, I had trouble viewing it full sized on the smartboard. Any tips for that?

I like the Oedipus video!

That's a really good idea! The video was good!

Great video and idea but I also had trouble viewing it full screen or not. It kept on stopping/ buffering. This certainly could be a bandwidth issue but I wouldn't try showing it to a class unless I was sure it would play uninterrupted.
