Create a YouTube Video and Embed it into Blogger

The following are from a teacher request:

1)  How to create a video in YouTube -

All of our teachers and students have their own YouTube accounts, often without realizing it.  Since YouTube is a Google product, any Google account will also be connected to a YouTube account.

Here is a basic version of how to create your first video.  In this case, I used a home video of my youngest daughter from a while back.

How to upload your first YouTube video:


Here is the actual video that I uploaded:

YouTube can be used to manage videos that you have created as well as any that others have uploaded in the same way that a Google Drive document can be managed.  Here, however, instead of having a Drive, we have 'My Channel', and instead of having folders, we have 'Playlists'.

Subscribe - think of this as a magazine subscription.  This is like putting the magazines on the end table for us in the living room.  You can quickly see the latest update without doing any searching.

Playlists -  We can save others' videos to our own playlists.  Playlists can be made Public/Unlisted/Private, depending on the purpose, and shared with others.
