Embedding TeacherTube Videos
February 17, 2008 | Tagged TeacherTube, Videos | Leave a Comment
Trying to embed a video into your edublog post?
First thing you may try is to click on “Upload/videos” (below the box where you are drafting your post”. Then you get a message that reads:
Embedding videos is easy
To embed a video simply:
* Click on the yellow ‘A’ button in your text editor (or ‘Media’ button if you have rich text editing turned off)
* Copy and paste the URL of the video you want to embed into the area provided
Now when you click on their lovely “yellow ‘A’ button” (or ‘Media’ button, for that matter), you get a number of options listed, for all of which Edublogs will gladly take the video URL and embed it into your post.
Now, if you want to embed a video from TeacherTube into your edublog, that is not one of the options, and trying to paste the code that they provide next to “Embeddable” will not work. Do you need to give up? No way! Just make sure to scroll down the TeacherTube page and copy the code especially provided for Edubloggers and paste it into your text. At first you’ll only see the caption line (”Download video”… etc), but when you publish your post, it’ll work!
You can see an example here.
