The boys first tried uploading screenshots of single cards of work to their blogs. However, this didn't truly capture their thinking and learning as it only showed the end product, not the process. Then one of the boys wanted to share his learning by creating a movie. This has caused all kinds of problems when trying to upload quickly and easily. We have tried uploading to Vimeo from Explain Everything but this seems to keep failing at the final rendering stage. We then tried uploading to the students drive then embed on the blog. This isn't ideal as there are many steps to complete and this only works the students manage to get the permission settings right. Hmm...
My next step is to find a quick and easy way of sharing their movies that is intuitive and quick. I'll keep you posted.
I have found that if I connect the iPads to my laptop, they are seen as a drive and I can drag the video files over t the laptop. This can then be set away to upload then the files linked to where you want them.
