I haven’t quite got the hang of this yet, but embedding a video seems to be quite easy. All I did was copy the URL of a YouTube video I liked, and then pasted it into the “upload a video” box, sent it to the editor (another button), and then clicked publish, and here it is.
When I taught in Japan, videos like Mr Bean were very popular. Silent video clips like “Simon’s Cat” (the one above) have the potential to be fun teaching tools for English language learners. They can be used to help students construct dialogs, and write descriptions.
