Adding Video 1

What happens if you want your post to be more attractive and you want to add video? To do this, you will have two options:

1) Getting video from youtube

2) Getting video from your computer


So let's start with the easiest part first... Adding video from youtube

Let's say that you were navigating in youtube and you found an interesting video about E-Learning that you want your students to watch... But... what could happen if you send them to youtube and look for the video? Probably they will find lots of things before getting to your video or they can find the wrong one... So what do you say about posting the video in your own blog?

So... you're in youtube, you are watching your video... so what do you do? Look to the right of your video...



And there you will find 2 codes:

URL: Here you just need to click and copy the URL and then paste it in your post. This way students will find a link that takes them to youtube.com to watch the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UwALO5yd1Q


Embed / Insertar: But... if you want to look cooler... you can post the video directly to your blog... You just need to copy this code and paste it in your blog and the video will play right there!



There you go! Now you can use any video you want from youtube!
