Vimeo
Vimeo is another popular video sharing and viewing website. So far as I know less videos are hosted on Vimeo compared to YouTube. Vimeo is less likely to be blocked in schools compared to YouTube which is why it’s a popular video hosting website for uploading videos for class and for finding videos to use in class. The free plans do have some restrictions such as 500MB per week of upload space, up to 5GB total account storage.
Google Drive
Google Drive allows you upload video files up to 10 GB in size on your desktop computer or using Google Drive app on your mobile app device. You can then share them with specific people or embed them into posts and websites. Google Drive is a popular video hosting option for schools using Google Apps for education. Many of our Google Apps for education schools upload their videos to Google Drive and used the embed code to add to their posts.
Embed Video in Posts
Videos from video sharing websites can be embedded into posts or pages by either using:
- The Video URL.
- The Embed Code.
Using the Video URL
Edublogs allows you to quickly embed videos, images, and other content such as Tweets and Scribd into a post or page using their URL. Websites you can embed using their URL are:
1. blip.tv. 2. DailyMotion. 3. Flickr — videos and images. 4. Photobucket. 5. Qik. 6. Scribd. 7. Twitter. 8. Viddler. 9. Vimeo. 10. YouTube — public videos only. 11. WordPress.tv
You embed a video using the URL as follows:
1. Copy the video’s URL from your web browser’s address bar while viewing the video. For YouTube videos, you need to use the video URL listed in Shared The Education Video.
