Week 10--Video on the Web--YouTube

It was easy to sign up for an account on YouTube. Since I already had a login on Google, I could just use it. The user name was a little harder. The one I usually use was already taken by someone else, so I had to come up with a different one. I finally settled on ruthmusic81.

Figuring out what to take a video of was a little difficult. Since I work in a school library and can't just shoot a video of my students and post it, I had to come up with something unrelated to school or libraries. My nephew was kind enough to let me videotape him playing his drums. Actually uploading the video to YouTube was easy. It just took several minutes to upload due to the slow speed of our internet service.

I did not attempt to edit anything on the video and it was already in a format that was YouTube friendly, so I didn't have to worry about that. I used my Sony Cyber-Shot DSC F828 to shoot the video. Although I've had the camera for several years, this was the first time I used the video feature.

I've uploaded a copy of the video below or you can view it on YouTube at the following address:
