The key for YouTube to display your video the best possible way, is to upload the best possible quality video that meets or exceeds their requirements. That is by encoding videos the right way.

What is the Infinite Thinking Machine? First launched in 2006, the Infinite Thinking Machine (ITM) is a high-energy Internet TV show directly targeted at K-12 educators, parents and students. Our goal is to inspire creativity and innovation in education. New episodes are released fortnightly (Google it!) during the school year. The show features a classroom teacher as its host, engaging educators as "Field Trip" correspondents and amazing innovators as guests. Innovative approaches to education are showcased, and the teachers, administrators and students behind them are celebrated. Special segments like 'HackEd' address deeper topics head-on, challenging conventional edu-thinking. Currently in its second season, the ITM depends on a mix of funding from its producing organization, education partners and corporate sponsors.

While there are several options available for converting a PowerPoint presentation into a format that can be watched anywhere, probably the best option when dealing with a presentation containing animation, video or sound is to convert the entire presentation to a video file.

Tutorial > http://blog.lib.umn.edu/bhosack/videoant/2009/10/videoant_tutorial_video.html I came upon Baiba Svenca's Scoop today and went to the site. Spent some time figuring it out and following the tutorials. When finished, I said to myself, "I'm impressed. This is quite a nice, simple video annotation tool. It has considerable functionality and is quite easy to use." Since it was a couple of years old, I decided to Google it to see if there were any more similar ones. I found there are quite a number of them, and some are quite complex. Then, I discovered the You Tube Video Annotation Tool [http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=14354&answer=92710]. Holy Cow! Where have I been? (Apparently, this has been around since Spring 2008.) This tool is amazing!!! It makes Video Ant, that I was quite impressed with, look like a horse and buggy compasred to an SUV. No doubt, there are, or will be, tools that surpass the YouTube annotator, but for me, now, this offers a dazzling array of functionality. Without spending too much time with it, what I found immediately most impressive is the capability to hyperlink from one video to another - right while the first video is playing. This can turn video videwing into quite a particip[tory experience. No doubt, many have discovered this before me, but I can't imagine why a lot of folks haven't written about this. For the Flipped Classroom, this offers incredible olpportunities. For student plrojects, again, the possibilities are quite immense. If anyone has experience using this tool, I'd very much appreciate your adding comments or links below. I want to know more!! -JL

Robin Good: If you have ever transcribed a video interview, you know how frustrating is to pause, restart and rewind the video a million times to be able to get the full audio track to be transcribed properly. Transcribe comes to the rescue with a free online service that facilitates the transcription of any video. Transcribe provides a set of dedicated options to step through the audio track to be transcribed easily. You can pause, stop, slow down, speed up and rewind and forward of a few seconds the track at any moment by using a few keys on your computer keyboard. To use it you only need to upload your .wav or .mp3 audio track and you are ready to go- Very useful. 9/10 The service is free to use: http://transcribe.wreally.com/ (Unearthed by Ana Cristina Pratas - Reviewed by Robin Good)

Coach's Eye is a video analysis tool that allows you to shoot video on an iPhone and the review it in slow motion or frame by frame. You can also annotate video with drawings or audio commentary. The quality and control of the slow motion is superb. Although designed for sports use, I am sure users will find it useful for many other kinds of video. This great example was shot earlier by my friend Kevin McLaughlin @kvnmcl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1fl4e2j2Wo&feature=youtu.be Currently available for £0.69 / 0.99$
