Embedding+Media

= = =Embed Video=

Don't underestimate the power of participant generated video...there is a lot of stuff out there that you can find and embedding it into your wiki controls what your students can see.

Embedded media could include videos stored on Teacher Tube, You Tube or Google Video. You can also embed slideshows that can be hosted sites like BubbleShare or Slideshare. These can be embedded to allow for them to play as in the example below.

To embed video, there are two steps. First, you must locate the embed code from the video source. This is easily located on the video site as shown highlighted on the screen below.



Once you have copied the embed code, simply place your cursor on the wikpage where you want the video to appear, then link through the embed icon (the little TV set) on the edit bar, paste the code into the window and hit save.

Example is shown below....
