Welcome

Hello, welcome to my newly created blogger page. This page is appropriately named thanks to it being a part of my final course towards my Masters of Art in Teaching. So if you are reading this then you get to witness my "Gateway to Freedom".

Appropriate YouTube Video

Still running into difficulties with my power point software, awaiting a fix so... in the meantime here is my You Tube Video.

I searched YouTube found a video and used bender converter to save the video to my computer. I chose AVI format because I thought that it looked good. I don't know if this was a good format to choose or not. I then composed a blog post and uploaded the video to this blog post from my computer using the movie icon within blogger.
I had some difficulty when uploading. It would get to 99% then return to 12%-16% and start over and over again. It eventually finished and is posted above. Apparently this upload is hosted by google video but the video is kept private and not included in the google video searches from the web. As you can see I was able to post it to my blog.

Finally, I was able to uploaded it from my computer back to YouTube by going to the YouTube site by  logging in using my gmail account, uploading it from my computer using the browse feature, put the settings at private so that only those with the link could view it, and finally placing the link to the "new" version into this blog post. Therefore, it is possible to re-post back to the internet once it is saved to my computer.I then embedded it below from the new link.



The most obvious of the ISTE standard for this assignment would be V-D since this type of activity could be used to share instructional materials with a larger audience such as students, parents, peers, etc.  Another standard could be VI-B since these types of videos can enable and empower learners of different ability levels.

I gave the original author credit in my description so I am hoping that I did not break any copyright laws.
