<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">>>>You can upload your video to School Tube, copy the video's html code and then add it as a widget on the wiki

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">What now??? You say that sounds way too complicated...take a few deep breaths and follow these 5 easy steps:

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">1.) Go to School Tube and create an account. You will need an email to do this.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">2.) Click the **upload** link at the top of the page and upload your video. You will receive an email once your video has been received and then you will have to wait for a moderator to approve it. Once it has been approved, you will receive a second email.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">3.) After your video has been approved, return to School Tube and in the **Find Your School** box, type **Canonsburg Middle School**.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">4.) Scroll down and under **All Videos**, select **Newest**. Look for your video and click on it.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">5.) Click the video's **Share** button: <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">6.) Copy the **Copy** button after the video's embed code:

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">7.) Back in your wiki, click on the page where you want to embed your video. Click the **Widget** button on the wiki toolbar and select **Other HTML** from the menu on the left. Paste the embed code that you copied for your video into the box and click the **Save** button.

Check out the AWESOME Flip Video Resources on this tech wiki. It has way more info than you'll ever need! However, if you follow the Comic Tutorial, instead of creating the flip video folder on the desktop as it says to do in step 5, put it in your own network folder.
