Using YouTube for Instruction

This is more of an intro to YouTube - just the basics of obtaining an account, etc. Still, a nice toll to add to your toolkit to send to faculty if they are interested:

Ironic that it's not on YouTube, don't you think?

YouTube now allows captioning

 I was pleased to find out that YouTube finally allows for captioning and annotation of movies. Google Video has supported captioning for some time now, but YouTube's implementation is a bit different. With Google Video, you upload a text file with timestamps (.SRT or .SUB) file and Google Video creates a CC button on your video's interface that allows you to turn captions on and off. With YouTube, you set captions a bit differently. When you log in to YouTube, you go to your My Videos page, find the video you want to caption and select the Edit Annotations button next to it.
