Addind a video using the embed code...

Here is how to add a YouTube or Vimeo video to a blog post using the embed code.

Clicked on share on the video clip:

• for Vimeo it is on the video clip usually in the upper right hand corner and looks somewhat like a paper airplane or white arrow;
• for YouTube it is below the video and looks like a white sideways "V"

click on the symbol then you'll see the embed code.
Copy the code using "command, C".
Next start your new post on Blogger.
I add the date and then I added my text.
Then I click on the HTML button and past the embed code using "command, V".
The last thing I do is click the Publish button and then video is ready to be watched.

Always Learning- Nov.2013

Just like everyone else I continue to learn, explore and spread my wings. Working on the Adobe Generation Professional course Digital Creativity in the Classroom has brought more opportunity to explore, play, rejoice, and reflect. Being able to learn along side peers and colleagues from around the globe sharing ideas, techniques, successes and failures is part of what learning and growing looks like in today's world.
I hope the young people I teach continue to stretch their belief in themselves and find that each struggle that may seem like failure is really just the opening of a new adventure. I look forward to sharing many with both my students and others alike.
This was a bit challenging- creating the book trailer. Many challenges and finally some success with a variety of computer and video equipment. Most important was that I learned from the challenge.
