What did you think of West Side Story? Any thoughts on the updated language (the original show was almost entirely English)? Share your ideas with the class.

Uploading Final Videos

December 9, 2008 by Paul Riker | 1 comment

Hi guys!

Rather than having you hand your final video projects to me on a disc, I want to teach you how to upload them to YouTube and add them to the blog on your own.

Step 1 – Upload the final video to YouTube

* Note: you will need a YouTube account for this (free, and easy to create)

Step 2 – Create a post on the blog (http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/judell09) and embed your YouTube video in the post.

Note: If your video is longer than 10 minutes, you will need to divide it into two parts, and upload separately.  If you don’t want to cut up your video, you can always use vimeo in place of YouTube.  That is a great site too.  The process is almost identical.
