Yesterday, I encountered some technical difficulties finishing up a video model for a team. The trouble came when I was trying to create a DVD from Flip video and also add additional footage I had taken from my iPhone. I couldn't do it! I was also running into a wall trying to figure out how to get Flip footage loaded onto the student's iPad while also combining it with the QuickTime footage. It was really too much thinking for something that is usually so easy.
Solution?
I loaded both videos onto YOU TUBE!
I created an account for the student using their school email address and then loaded all the footage I wanted to use onto their channel.
I made sure to mark each video private in settings and invited only his family and members of his school team to view the videos. You need to remember to do this for each and every video you upload to maintain students' privacy.
As my final step, I put all the videos for this student into one playlist so that he could see himself doing all of his job with just one step (vs. having to select each of the three videos).
Moral of the Story
Now, no matter what kind of format is used to create videos, this student can see them all in one central place - at school, at home, in the community .... the possibilities are endless.
