First Emergent Technology - Vodcasting

Vodcasting, Vlogging, Video Blogging

Hello everyone! Anyone else extremely tired of this snow?! I had to take my baby to the doctor today. It was not fun getting him out in this cold! Anyways here is my blog on Vodcasting:

I am exploring Vodcasting. It is simply a video of you on the internet. It has a lot of uses. For example, if you have a classroom website or blog you could record you showing students how to do something. It's hard to understand directions through text-only, so a video of the teacher showing step-by-step instructions perhaps for an assignment would be extremely helpful. It would be a little online classroom for students to have after hours. I know there were plenty of times where I wished I could see a teacher show a math problem example one more time so I could understand my assignment better. This could be done via Vodcasting. It's so simple!


I thought it was very simple to Vodcast. I simply used my digital camcorder and uploaded my video to Youtube and then embedded it (using html) into this blog post. Youtube is definitely user-friendly! I've never had a problem with it. Having html knowledge is so helpful! If you would like to learn some basic html here is a great website:

Anyone could use Vodcasting for really anything they could ever dream of! If you had relatives that live far away, you could keep a blog using Vodcasts to keep your family updated! If you wanted to get yourself out there as a musician, Vodcasts could be for you! In my case, I just wanted to play some guitar for mine.

If you wanted to Vodcast often and don't really mind medium-quality video, buy a cheap webcam! They run from twenty to thirty dollars and are easy to use! Many computers (mostly laptops) are having a built-in webcam come standard on the computer. Mine has one, but I wanted to strive for a little better quality so I used my digital camcorder.

This is definitely not a first!

Hello classmates! My name is Kylaina Ping. I just had an awesome baby boy January 6th! His name is Braylon. His dad and I thought we made his name up, but now I'm hearing it everywhere! I am a sophomore at IUPUC, studying Elementary Education. This is not my first blog, nor is it my second. I'm pretty sure I've had about twenty blogs. The problem that I have with blogs is keeping up with them. I'll use one for about a month and then I'm over it. Then a few months later, I'm ready to blog again. Instead of posting on my old blog, I'll just create a new one. I guess that's good for me though because I have a lot of experience setting up blogs! If I had to give you advice, I would say learn basic html! It's so handy to know, especially if you want to do a lot of customizing on blogger or myspace!
