Ok, I just completed my Learning/Technology Fair Project.  I chose to begin a classroom blog as another way to share information about what we are doing in first grade with the rest of the world.  I decided to record my students reading their constellation stories with my Flip video recorder.  It is very easy to use.  I then uploaded the videos with the Flip software.  In order to load the videos to teachertube, I had to first save them to a file on my desktop.  If I uploaded to youtube, I could have done it directly.  So, teachertube had one extra step which was fine once I figured it out.  Then I loaded the videos from teachertube to my blog by the html.  It was a little time consuming, but now that I know how to do it it should be much faster next time.  It was definitely a great learning experience and feel that I am just touching the surface of how a blog can become an integral part of classroom communication and learning tool.  If you would like to see my blog it is wcmlyons.edublogs.org
