Process

1. Identify the Media you want
   • Edublogs.tv (20 meg upload)
   • Internet Archive
   • SchoolTube.com
   • TeacherTube.com (very slow)
   • YouTube.com (not at work)
2. Make note of citation information for the Media Selected
3. Get the Media in whatever format you can (e.g. mov, flv, wma, whatever you can). Use one of these sites:
   • Video/Audio Capture/Conversion:
     • ZamZar.com
     • KeepVid.com
     • Vixy.net
     • Downloader9.com
   • Image Capture:
     • Macintosh – Skitch
     • Windows – FastStone (FS) Capture (free version)
   • Video Creation
     • Jing
4. Convert the Media to the format you need using the web-based tools available or Format Factory (Windows only). This usually needs to be something you can use or play in Powerpoint (WMV/AVI) or Keynote (FLV/MOV/MP4) or share on your SAISD Blog (MP4).
5. Remix the Media and Share It with a Wider Audience (citing the original you adapted appropriately). Some web sites you can share media on:
   • Video/Audio
     • SAISD Blog (your best and first choice for District projects)
     • Edublogs.tv (Video in FLV and Audio in MP3)
     • TeacherTube.com (Video only)
     • Podomatic.com (500 megs for free)
     • Internet Archive (unlimited storage, but once uploaded, you can’t take it down)
   • Images
     • Bubbleshare.com
     • Skitch.com
     • Imagebucket
     • PicasaWeb
     • Flickr

• Copyright Questions, including Creative Commons Introduction
  • Intro to CC Content
  • Licensing Your Own Content

Thanks to Jane Hart for pointing to this TechieBuzz’ blog entry on how to embed a YouTube video that starts from the moment you want (20, 30, 50 seconds in) rather than at the beginning:

When you receive the embed code from YouTube, add &start=30 to the URL part of the code. In this example, 30 means 30 seconds but you can change it to any desired value…[read the original post for the example]….

Great stuff!
