Publishing a Video from Drive on my Blog

This was a bit tricky. Firstly, I had taken this video when I attended an Apple educators session in Auckland last week. It is Dr Ruben Puentedura reviewing the SAMR model as applied by a group of educators to a unit on Matariki. I used my tablet to do the recording and found that although the sound is fine, the picture, especially of the screen, is not very good at all. Maybe to just record people, it would have been ok, but to record screens I would need a higher quality recording tool.

So, I have the video. Next, I followed a tutorial that has been shared by a Core Ed facilitator. Everything worked according to his instructions except that when I reviewed my blog with the video it stretched across my page outside the width of the blog section. The tutorial did not tell me how to fix this, so I googled my question and found another short tutorial which showed me how to go into the advanced section of the template and enter code to make the video narrower. I copied this code and updated and voila, my video is the correct size!
