Since I anticipated in Thing 9 the embed part of the exercise, I went ahead and grabbed embed code from one of my favorite sites, reuters.com, and included one of their latest news videos. I am glad to see more sites making embedding more convenient with "Share" buttons trhat allow the user to paste html to the clipboard and then right click in Blogger to add the video to a post. As a librarian, I am happy that these tools make attribution more likely and more convenient. I am heartened by the mounting evidence that our students feel comfortable using these tools to share online resources ethically. I am also glad that they are not limited to YouTube which seems pretty cutting edge to my age group, but very passe for some of the tweeners and teens entering our school buildings today. I am also interested to see if these tools are just as easy to use as phone apps which are our students preferred way of communicating with each other and with their teachers (when it is allowed)
