Up to now I have just been using YouTube and TeacherTube for videos, but at the open weekend at Knowplace, we were introduced to a few other platforms. How to produce streaming video  is a good tutorial which explain what streaming video is and how to create it.

One of the new platforms was BlipTV. I am still playing with it and decided howe see how easy it is to embed a video from BlipTV here in edublogger.

Okay, that was easy enough.

  • Go the video you want to embed at BlipTV and click on the embed icon at the bottom of the video
  • It will give you a pop-up window, click on the middle tab at the bottom which says "Embed"
  • Copy the script to Notepad
  • Copy ONLY the last url before "quality"

  • Rememember to note down the width and height
  • Click on the "f" flash icon at the top of your post, it will ask you for the flash url (paste)
  • Next it will ask you for the width and the height
  • Viola!
