Perils
@jasonrhode
Portrait Videos Don’t Upload Well to YouTube
@jasonrhode
Uploads of Saved Periscope Videos Often Fail
@jasonrhode
5 Tips for Getting Started1. Link your Twitter account2. Pick a hashtag, reuse 3. Setup Periscope group for your class4. Stream in portrait mode if wishing to
save and upload to YouTube5. Share links to recorded videos
and/or embed in LMS for students who can’t participate live
@jasonrhode
Lessons Learned• Students find video communications
and resources very helpful• Videos don’t need to be polished to
be effective• Recordings of streamed videos from
Periscope are more easily reused in YouTube if portrait orientation
• Live streaming mobile video effective for niche use cases
