ECTV - ECISD Video-hosting for Students and Staff

Thinking about Flipping Your Classroom but not sure where to host the videos since YouTube is blocked? Look no further than ECTV. The EC Technology Operations Office is pleased to announce ECTV, a video/audio hosting service that is web-based and enables staff--and, students with teacher supervision--to share content from their computer, or mobile devices. Accessible from wherever there is an Internet-ready device, students and staff will have access to a service that works similar to YouTube. You can share links, or embed video content, in web pages, Google Sites pages, blog entries. Not only can you place video/audio content online in ECTV that is teacher/student-generated, you can also place content online.  Here's one example, Setting Up Your Teacher Class Account, of an embedded video: You can also view AND share videos via the iPad, of which there are over 700 in the district and more coming. This means that anyone with an iPad who has an account will be able to put content from their iPad online. Wow! Special thanks to Calvin Orsak and Michael Harber for doing the coding and setup to get this done, as well as Tom Grove for setting up the virtual server! Great teamwork!
