WHERE CAN I FIND GREAT VIDEO CONTENT?

(1) Within Canvas:

• YouTube app
• SchoolTube app
• TEDed app

For more information on Canvas apps, check out Session 58: There's an App for That!

     Adding apps from the Canvas App Center is pretty straightforward - here's all you need to do:

1. Log in to your Canvas course (http://learn.maricopa.edu)
2. Click the Settings link at the bottom of your COURSE navigation on the left-hand side of the screen. NOTE: the fact that you use COURSE Settings, rather than GLOBAL Settings, indicates that you add apps on a course-by-course basis.
3. In the Course Settings area, click the "Apps" tab at the top of your screen. 
4. In the Apps Center, just scroll through and click on the icon of any app you wish to investigate!
5. When you click on an app icon, you will see a screen with more details about that particular app. If you decide you want to try it, just click the "Add Tool" button.

Integrating Library eContent  

Pages 1-2 of this handout address the video content available through the CGCC Library. IMPORTANT NOTE: this handout shows the steps to integrate eContent so that you or your students will be able to access it even when you are not using a CGC campus networked computer. Without these instructions,  here is what you will see when you try to access the eContent from an outside network.

Instructors who have used the embed option within Canvas have encountered problems - in edit mode, even after pasting in the code, nothing appears, and then in published mode, some garbage code appears (but no video!).

Here is a solution that works with Films on Demand to embed the video:

Where do I find the Library eResources?

(3) The Universe:

• YouTube
• News sites (Fox, PBS, MSNBC, CNN, etc...)
• Hulu
• Khan Academy -- mostly math and science, but several other topics also
• Virtual Nerd -- specific to math, hyperlink only, no embed code at this time
• JoVE Science Education Collection  http://www.jove.com/science-education-collection
• Free videos specific to sciences
• Use URL to link to video
• Selected access to PDF transcript and Materials List for partner video
• Free access until January 2014, then paid account access only
  

As we're sure you know by now, the "magic" to using any of these videos within Canvas is to use the embed code. This handout will help you to become the master of finding the embed code on any website:

(4) Create Your Own!

As you know by now, it's a great big Web 2.0 world out there - don't be afraid to dabble in creating your own videos! Start small (maybe just a course intro video...?), then work your way up to serious content. Here are just a few of the video tools we've included in past workshops:

• Screenr (Session 33)
  
• Animoto (Session 50)
  
• Xtranormal (Session 55)
  
• Your own video camera (FlipVideo, camcorder, or even just use your cell phone!) , and some SUPER simple editing tools (Session 43)
  

Newer tools, for the slightly more ambitious among you (they still aren't difficult, but you need to do a little more storyboarding and syncing):

• VideoScribe (Session 55)
  
• Wideo (Session 55)

Here is a sampling of tools across varying artistic and technology comfort levels that we shared in Session 55 (Digital Storytelling):
