I'm not really interested in cluttering up these sites with video not worthy so I'm writing this post but leaving it sit for awhile while I think about what I can do. The question was concerning the advantages of uploading student work. I did some photo story book reviews with students 2 years ago when there was a free site to host them as podcasts. It has since gone 'for pay' so using these sites to upload the student projects would be a solution. I think students like to see other student projects, especially good ones. It can inspire, instill confidence, curiosity, and illuminate. Imagine a student who finally "gets it", whatever it is, and then goes about explaining it in his or her own way and uploading so others can benefit from his final understanding. It may help another student, but the power the uploader feels will far outweigh those benefits.
OK, many days later, I have gone through the upload process at Teacher Tube. I found it frustrating as a 1st timer because it wasn't til the third screen that I was actually asked where my video was located. I still have no idea what Create Album is for and I was too frustrated with the inefficiency of the forms to delve into it. Obviously, the angst will be gone for any subsequent uploading. I have no idea if it was successful since I have to wait 24 hours to be approved. I guess that's a good thing. Since tomorrow is actually July (regardless of the date I began this post) I need to move on.
