Okay, so I tried options 1 and 3 so far. I think I will try #2 at some point, but I wasn't feeling photogenic at the moment. So...
Option 1: I looked at a video that had been sent to me on YouTube. I decided to try to find it on Teacher Tube because it would be more accessible. Success. It was very easy to embed in the blog. No worries!
Option 3: I went the Animoto route because I've never done it, but I have been interested. I didn't understand that you have so little control over what is shown when and how. Strangely, none of the text I entered showed up except the title! Still, the idea of makeing a video is doable. I either need more time with Animoto or maybe another product that gives you more control. The Screenr option looks good, too.
I went to CSR's Technology in Education conference this week. I learned that you can get a special downloader for FireFox that lets you download YouTube videos without all the ads and stuff. Seems like a good idea. I have to investigate.
Also, related to this week's topic is NBC Learn. Too bad it seems expensive because it sure could be useful.
BTW: Regarding Social Networking. There is another site I learned about at the conference. My Fake Wall. Sounds good for education purposes. I'll have to check it out.
All in all this CDLC class is keeping me motivated and directed toward technology. Sometimes I need a push.

RSA Animate - Changing Education Paradigms
Here is an interesting video that I received. Not sure I agree with everything it says, but it sure gives you things to think about.
