Video Blogging Handout [Type text] INTRO TO SOCIAL MEDIA: VIDEO BLOGGING Basic Information about Videoblogs Video blogs (vlogs) are blogs that mainly feature short videos instead of text. They are easy to maintain and don’t require HTML knowledge to create. Video bloggers (vloggers) are people who regularly post videos on the Internet, creating shows for anyone who wants to watch. There are many types of vlogs – some are cooking shows; others are mini- documentaries; some are mock news programs; others are art films. Most of them are simply records of ordinary life. Through vlogging, anyone can create media and easily distribute it, bypassing TV and mainstream media. Most vlogs allow their viewers to comment, which creates an open conversation between the creator and their audience. Bloggers and vloggers are shifting the way the media works, because they are often the first to “break” a news story, which mainstream media then begins to cover. To Vlog You Need A Broadband connection (DSL, cable modem, T1, etc…). A dial-up connection is too slow to accommodate vlogging. Updated Software & Plug-ins (Windows XP Service Pack 2; Mac OS X 10.4 or later) Web browser (Mozilla’s Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) Video Players: –Quicktime for both PC & MAC www.apple.com/quicktime –Flash for both PC & MAC http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html –Windows Media for PC http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-media- player –VLC Open Source Media Player for both PC & MAC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Drawing Trac One way to keep readers coming back is to use the Really Simple Syndication (RSS) allowing readers to subscribe to your site and be notified with a headline and a link every time you post. Check out this video to see video that explains RSS feeds: http://www.commoncraft.com/rss_plain_english Blogging software automatically generates an RSS feed (Real Simple Syndication) so subscribers can get regular updates. If a lot of people start visiting your blog, you may put ad placements from Google AdSense (www.google.com/adsense/) or BlogAds.com. With AdSense, each time a reader clicks on an ad placed on your site, you get a sliver of revenue. BlogAds, on the other hand, generate revenue based on the number of visits to your blog. BlogAds says that you can earn $50 to $750 a month with about 100,000 visits. 1 VB_Handout Exploring Vlogs URL Description http://briccommunitymedia.wordpress.com/ This is the vlog for BRIC Community Media, showcasing BIT shows. http://blunty.tv/ A technology vlog about cameras and production equipment. www.buckhollywood.com A humorous entertainment show focusing on the goings-on in Hollywood epic.fu/blog This vlog looks at contemporary “geek” culture. www.illdoctrine.com This blog is hosted by Jay Smith, the founder of WBAI’s hip hop radio show, Underground Railroad. http://www.stuffyoushouldknow.com/video/ A vlog about interesting facts that people category/clips/ should know. www.crashtestkitchen.com This vlog has tutorials on how to cook a variety of dishes. joshleo.tumblr.com This is an example of a more personal blog, often having to do with travel and art. www.pouringdown.tv This video blog contains different examples of the host’s “visual poems”. http://www.ryanedit.blogspot.com/ Another example of a personal blog. http://www.geekentertainment.tv/ A look at people who are passionate about a lot of different things. http://29fragiledays.blogspot.com/ This vlog feature mini-documentaries.

Vlog Accounts You can create a YouTube channel, which can serve as a very simple vlog. To do that you will need an account at http://www.youtube.com/ You can also create a blog and then embed your videos from YouTube. You can customize a blog much more easily than you can customize a YouTube channel. For our blog page, we will use http://blogger.com Blogger and YouTube are both owned by Google, so your user name and password will be the same for both websites. VB_Handout Email associated with YouTube Password for YouTube URL of your YouTube Channel **In order to upload videos to YouTube, each one should be less than 15 minutes long and under 2 GB. Accepted file formats include: .mpeg4, .mov, .avi, .wmv, and .flv. Upload videos that are as close to their original file format as possible. Go to http://www.youtube.com/ If you already have a Google account (either a gmail account or a blogger account with another email address), click Sign In in the top right hand corner and enter your username and password. If you don’t have an account with Google, click Create Account. Once you have created your account, spend some time customizing your account settings. To do this, click on your account name at the top right of the screen and then click Settings. o Click Profile Setup on the menu on the left hand side of the page to add a picture as your Profile picture and share more information (or not) about yourself including your website, companies you are involved with, interests etc. o Click Playback Setup on the menu on the left hand side of the page to change how you view videos in YouTube. o Click Email Options to customize when you receive emails from YouTube. We would recommend getting emails when someone comments on your videos at the very least. That way you have a chance to delete the new comment if you want. o Click Privacy to customize your privacy settings, including whether you want to give YouTube the right to use your account information to target particular advertisements to you. o Click on Manage Account to see if you are in “good standing”, to close your account, or to opt out of having advertisements placed before your videos. Now it’s time to upload a video. To do this, click Upload in the top right corner of your account. o When the Video File Upload window appears, click Upload Video. o Navigate to where the video you want to upload lives on the computer. Click Open. o YouTube will show you the progress of your video uploading. While it is uploading, you can add some information to your video, including a title, description, tags (which will help people find your video when they search for certain keywords), privacy settings, and type of license. When you are done adding or changing this information, be sure to click Save Changes. You can change any of this once your video is uploaded if you want. VB_Handout o When your video has successfully uploaded, click on the url it gives you. This will take you directly to that particular upload, so you can view it. To change any of the information on a particular video once it has already been uploaded, click on your account name at the top right of the screen & then Videos. o Click on Edit under the video for which you want to change information. o You can choose a different thumbnail that will be displayed for your video from the three that YouTube generates here. o You can also go deeper into broadcast & privacy options for each video here, including setting comments so you have to approve them before they go live on your YouTube page. Note that you can make videos private here! You can also have a Channel on YouTube where you can customize the look of the page a little bit. This can function somewhat like a vlog. Check out BIT’s YouTube Channel as an example: http://www.youtube.com/bkindependenttv To go to your channel, click on your account name at the top right of the screen & then click Channel. o At the top of your channel’s page, click on Settings to give your channel a title or to add tags to your channel. o At the top of your channel’s page, click on Themes and Colors to change your background color. o You can also choose to upload a particular image to use as your background. To do this, under Themes and Colors, click on Show Advanced Options. Click on the Browse button where it says Background Image and find the image you want to use. o If you have Photoshop, you can use this video to help you create a professional looking YouTube Channel background: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P0PF8T9J3w&feature=related o At the top of your channel’s page, click on Modules to change what is visible on your channel. o At the top of your channel’s page, click on Videos and Playlists to change what type of uploaded content is visible on your page. If someone posts a comment that you don’t like to your YouTube channel, click on Remove next to their comment. Note that the URL for your Channel will always be the same, while the URL for each particular video will be different.

  • What Is Dart?
    1 Dart in Action By Chris Buckett As a language on its own, Dart might be just another language, but when you take into account the whole Dart ecosystem, Dart represents an exciting prospect in the world of web development. In this green paper based on Dart in Action, author Chris Buckett explains how Dart, with its ability to either run natively or be converted to JavaScript and coupled with HTML5 is an ideal solution for building web applications that do not need external plugins to provide all the features. You may also be interested in… What is Dart? The quick answer to the question of what Dart is that it is an open-source structured programming language for creating complex browser based web applications. You can run applications created in Dart by either using a browser that directly supports Dart code, or by converting your Dart code to JavaScript (which happens seamlessly). It is class based, optionally typed, and single threaded (but supports multiple threads through a mechanism called isolates) and has a familiar syntax. In addition to running in browsers, you can also run Dart code on the server, hosted in the Dart virtual machine. The language itself is very similar to Java, C#, and JavaScript. One of the primary goals of the Dart developers is that the language seems familiar. This is a tiny dart script: main() { #A var d = “Dart”; #B String w = “World”; #C print(“Hello ${d} ${w}”); #D } #A Single entry point function main() executes when the script is fully loaded #B Optional typing (no type specified) #C Static typing (String type specified) #D Outputs “Hello Dart World” to the browser console or stdout This script can be embedded within <script type=“application/dart”> tags and run in the Dartium experimental browser, converted to JavaScript using the Frog tool and run in all modern browsers, or saved to a .dart file and run directly on the server using the dart virtual machine executable.

These have led to the development and evolution of Web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites (i.e. Facebook, MySpace), video sharing sites (i.e. YouTube), wikis, blogs, etc. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to any actual change in technical specifications, but rather to changes in the ways software developers and end- users utilize the Web. Web 2.0 is a catch-all term used to describe a variety of developments on the Web and a perceived shift in the way it is used. This shift can be characterized as the evolution of Web use from passive consumption of content to more active participation, creation and sharing. Web 2.0 Websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information.

  • Etools: Google Blogger As an Online Discussion Tool
    eTools: Google Blogger as an Online Discussion Tool Bree McEwan, Western Illinois University Introduction Although most learning management systems such as Blackboard or D2L come with a built-in discussion board, these boards are not always designed in a way that facilitates engaged and continued conversation. Blogs, on the other hand, often can facilitate a community spirit between bloggers and commenters. Utilizing a free blogging tool such as Google Blogger allows instructors to capture that spirit for their own classes, which can be used either as the main engagement space for an online course or as a supplement to conversations in a brick-and-mortar classroom. What is Google Blogger? Traditionally, blogs are spaces for people to self-publish short essays on a wide variety of topics. Google Blogger (www.blogger.com) is an online blog site that contains a dashboard that allows authors to create or post blog posts. These posts can be simply text or can include links, pictures, or embedded video. Readers of the blog can then discuss the initial post in the comment section or comment on the posted content. Google Blogger has an array of options in regards to privacy and access to different parts of the blog. Blogs can be public or private. If a blog is private, students can be invited to the blog via e-mail. Instructors can also choose if students are blog readers, authors, or administrators. Authors can create their own blog posts. Administrators have access to a wide variety of tools including inviting other readers and authors, controlling the design of the blog, and accessing usage metrics.
