Thing 10 -- Using and Uploading Videos

I found a really cool video in YouTube on Web 2.0.



It's four and a half minutes long but it is fascinating to watch. It is by Dr. Michael Wesch from Kansas University. I copied and pasted the html code as shown on the 23 Things website.

For this next video, I did a search on teaching to see what would come up. I decided to download this video about how to use six Power Teaching techniques to keep students focused and engaged. It's called "Introduction to Power Teaching" by Chris Biffle. It took me two tries to get the video to save, mainly because I didn't realize the first time that I had to wait for it to both download and process before I could save the post. It took more than 10 minutes to actually save the video properly the second time.



I'm going to check out the website information the video mentions to get more information and maybe try this in my classroom. Hopefully, it'll work and my students won't think I'm crazy.
