How do I post videos?

Is there a direct way to submit educational videos that I have created?

Thank you.

RE: How do I post a video?

Ah-ha! I figured it out on my own. I might just be one of the few, but I found the path to posting your own videos to be not as direct as it could be. This might be something for the designers to consider?
As for now, to get to the video posting window, the user starts at the Activities page. (I personally would like to see a download tab or Ele help/instructional video at the top of this page.) From the Activity page you must first click on one of the existing activities. Once on that featured video’s page, scroll down past the activities menu to the very bottom. (This is what I kept missing.) The rate, comment and post video section is on the right.

I hope this might help my fellow directionally challenged Ele users.

Hi Danny - Thank you for the mini-guide on posting videos on Ele. You are correct - at this time, users are only able to upload videos in the comments section of individual activities. Being able to more easily share videos, through YouTube embedding or other means, is being investigated for future development. Additionally, users at this time cannot upload videos or other media AS activities, although this is something that we will also be considering for the future.

Thank you so much for your feedback, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions.

Best,

Thank you for taking my question. I am an online early childhood educator and I wanted to know if Ele is an appropriate resource for my college students who are majoring in Early Childhood Education. I am always looking for more resources for my students. Please let me know. Thank you.

Good question! Absolutely - there are many resources here that could be of value to your students. I would certainly suggest trying the "classroom" filter on the Activities page and perhaps checking out Play!Lists such as this one on Dialogic Reading: http://ele.fredrogerscenter.org/playlists/380?page=1

If you're looking for something in particular, please let me know if I can help.
