1. Join a video-sharing platform of your choice.

http://www.youtube.com/

http://vimeo.com/

First of all, log out of youtube app if necessary...

Tap on ‘sign out’

You’ll see the following...

Back to home screen and tap on ‘safari’

Write www.youtube.com in browser

Either use an existing account or create a new one.

To create a new account, fill in profile (tlf not necessary).

Not much left now....

You are now an official Youtubian.

To find your control panel...

You will see the following... To create your channel

Create a channel... Done.

2. Record your masterpiece!

First of all: Be Prepared!

Know how the camera/device you are using works (picture – video mode / how to view on camera / how (not) to erase files / optimum file format for internet / uploading files onto your computer (know where they are stored) etc…)

Make sure the batteries are charged / you have enough power to film what you have to (have extra batteries/charger if needed)

Make sure you have all the equipment you need when going to class (tripod stand if necessary, etc…)

Do short trial recording and play it back to make sure the camera/device works properly before using it in class (do this as close to the moment of recording as possible)

Try and have back-up option (other camera/device) if possible

3. Uploading from a mobile device.

Most mobile devices such as smart phones or tablets normally let you upload to youtube directly from the device. It is much quicker than the process we have just seen.

Record your film. Let’s use the iPad as an example. Tap on the camera icon on the home screen.

Make sure you choose ‘video’ option and then film...

Now you can upload directly to youtube

Log on using the user id you have created / already had

Fill in information for the video (tags, limiting access, etc...)and tap ‘publish’

Open up your youtube account again...

Tap ‘my videos’

Voila! Your video (should be..) there.

View it and share if you like...

Publish it, mail it, send link in an sms...

And the Oscar goes to....
