Learning Spaces: Blogs: Video Sharing
Webcasting, Vodcasting, and Vlogging
Webcasting, vlogging, videoblogging, and video sharing are all ways to share video-based content on the web. In most cases, those who share video encourage viewers to respond to their work by adding comments or providing suggestions.
Webcasting or Videocasting. Video recordings can be uploaded to the web and linked from blogs or other websites. These videos may be streamed or downloaded to computers or handheld video devices such as an iPod.
Vlogging. Sometimes web-based videos are embedded as the main content of a blog. These are called vlogs.
Watch or scan Educators Videoblogs from the Vloggercon conference. You might also check other conference presentations from vloggercon.
