How to Embed a YouTube Video


Next up in the series of How to Screencasts is how to embed a YouTube video. The steps will actually work for any video that has an embed option. Actually, the steps will work for anything that is capable of being embedded. They could be widgets, games, etc. I'll touch on those later, but here is the video on how to embed video. Oh the irony.




I hope this video made sense to everyone. I think I'm getting better at making these as I move forward. If you have questions, please feel free to leave a comment in the comment box and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I hope this video encourages more people to look at the possibilities of blogs and web pages in general.

The Reform Symposium

Well, it looks like I tricked some people into thinking I know what I'm talking about. I have been asked to present during on-line conference. The focus of the conference this year is Innovation in education and I will be presenting on Integrating Technology into the classroom. My session is on Sunday August 1 at 12:30 EST.  My presentation is entitled, Everything I Learned about Tech Integration, I Learned from Movies. For those who know me, this is not a huge leap.

I'm excited to be presenting and honored to be in a great group of educators participating in the conference. I've met many of these people at ISTE last month and I'm excited to see their presentations and Keynotes. They have great things to say about education and it's worth stopping by for a listen. I encourage all of you to sign up if you have the time and stop by and see what people have to say about innovation in the classroom. You might find something that changes your entire view of education or just something that will make a single lesson a little bit better for your students. either way, you will walk away with something that will make you a better teacher. Best of all, it's free! Stop by The Reform Symposium website and sign up and look around. Here is a video explaining the conference.



I hope this helps answer any questions you might have about the conference. If you still have some, feel free to send me an email or leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for reading and spread the word!

Don't know how to embed video on your blog? Another screencast will be available shortly to show you how. :-)
