2. VIDEOS

a.         Finding Videos

Videos can come from anywhere. The best video is under 90 seconds and is professional. (No camera shake, done in a lab, not in a garage, etc.) Ideally, the video has no swearing and no drug/alcohol/tobacco references.

Videos should generally focus on a single reaction or change. Too much, and it will be hard for students (or the teacher) to tell what the purpose is. All videos need a purpose! It should be obvious from the video or from the description you write that the video belongs to that topic.

Other types of videos are songs to learn a topic or additional teaching help for the topic. These might be longer. Think of them as something a teacher can ask students to do on their own, for example.

You can find videos from YouTube or anywhere in a QuickTime or Windows Media format.

When you find a YouTube video, you need:

• · Title
• · Long Link (from the YouTube SHARE button below the video)
• · Uploaded by (this will be the Contributor when you enter it into CT)
• · Date Uploaded (Date Created)

When you find any other type of video:

• · Format (QuickTime or Windows Media)
• · Movie URL (for the actual movie-will end in .mpg, .mov, avi, wmv, et cetera)
• · Still-Image URL (an image, usually from the same page as the movie file, with a single frame from the video that users can see before they click “PLAY”)
• · Publisher (University, Company, etc.)
• · Contributor (person who made the video)
• · Date Created
• · URL of the page where you found the video
• · Copyright/Creative Commons license (whatever use license)
