I am still unable to begin setting up my classroom, but many out there have already begun. If so, I want to remind you of my Tuesday linky... Create your mini-Instagram Video today and post the link tomorrow!! When you post on Instagram use hashtag: #teachertourtuesday

This is a great way to showcase your classroom a little bit at a time and provide narration at the same time!! In addition to posting on Instagram, please link up tomorrow with a quick post directing us to your video.

Here is my first #teachertourtuesday. Of course, with the help of my lovely little assistant
This is all I can show at this point, since I cannot decorate until they finish the floors:

*if you cannot see the video, please visit my instagram page to view: http://instagram.com/iteach5thgrade

Want to know how to embed your video?

((Works in Safari, Google Chrome, and Firefox - does not work in Internet Explorer))

Sign into Instagram (it is easier to embed if you copy the link from the Instagram on your computer, rather than from the link through the app). Sign in here & log in: http://instagram.com 

 

Find the video you want to embed & click on the video (see my example below):

 

 

?

Once you click on the video, you will see a screen like the one below. Click on the arrow-type icon.

 

 

 

Once you click the arrow-type icon, a box will pop up with the embedded code. Copy the code.

 

 

?

?

Head on over to your blogger post and embed it in the HTML in the place you want it.

***NOTE: You must have your Instagram settings OFF on Posts are Private (under Edit Your Profile: Posts Are Private: OFF -- see below) for your video to be viewable through your blogger post.

 

Teacher Tour Tuesday (has begun)...

#teachertourtuesday


I am super excited to begin this new linky:

 

 

I love, love, love to see tours of classrooms through pictures, but wouldn't it be great to also do short video clips of each little section of your room? This way, you can add short commentary about what you are showing! Instagram now has the video feature, and since they launched this feature, I have wanted to do this linky. What do you need to do?

• Create a short video clip focusing on one area of things in your classroom in Instagram (see tutorial here)
• Upload the video to Instagram with hasgtag #teachertourtuesday
• Write a post directing us to watch your clip on your Instagram page (or embed the video into your blog)
• Link up each Tuesday with a NEW short clip - by the end of the linky, we will have seen a complete tour of your wonderful classroom!!!?

I hope you will join along and PLEASE invite others, so we can see all the classrooms we can each week! What a great way to showcase your lovely room and get great ideas!!!! :)


I will always post this link on Mondays, so you will be able to remember to write and link up each Tuesday !!


****NOTE: I should have been more clear... In order to link up, you must write a blog post about your video and ONLY link that page up, NOT your home page AND you must include a link back here to this post! For example, I created a post and linked up my post

(http://teachertakers.blogspot.com/2013/07/teachertourtuesday-and-how-to-embed.html) NOT my homepage: http://teachertakers.blogspot.com/ ****

Tuesday Tour (Coming this Tuesday)!! and Instagram Video Tutorial

Once Instagram made public the new video feature, I so badly wanted to do a classroom tour video linky!! Several folks are already getting into their classrooms (not me - they are still working on floors, etc. - pooey). It would be great to do a short video tour of a section of your room each week to showcase your wonderful classroom d�cor!! Please, please consider joining along and PLEASE pass the word along by using the image below:

 

 

Even though I haven't begun decorating, I cannot wait to watch the short clips each week and get some great ideas!! Don't know how to use Instagram's video feature? Here is a quick tutorial:

 

1) Log In (haha...LOL - I amuse myself sometimes...)

2) Click on the camera icon:

 

 

3) Click on the video icon:

 

 

4) Press and hold the RED record button (you can do a video in one shot, or stop and do a few clips). All together, I believe it is a 30 second video clip.

 

 

5) Once the video segment is completed, click next... You can change the look of the video (play around with it until you see one you like. Then click next.

 

 

 

6) Choose a beginning image for your video (slide the blue box until it lands on an image you like). The click NEXT.

 

 

7) Now, there are a few things you can do here, but I 'arrowed' the most main thing - the others are optional. You can put a quick description and then press share (it goes to your followers). In addition, you can share it on Twitter, Email, Facebook, etc. You can also put your location, but I never use that - dangerous, I think!
