It's acutally far less robotic than my title makes it sound. This is from our final pre-pregnancy fun vacation to Disney World last year, linked from my new Vimeo account: http://www.vimeo.com/user6191062/videos. Email me for the password!
Vimeo was pretty easy to use. It's hard to tell at this point in the semsester what is easy and what is difficult, because I've been to so many sites and used so many programs and been through so many tutorials and "abouts" that the process is starting to feel pretty standardized to me, regardless of the different types of applications. It seems to me that the vast majority of these sites are not hard to use if you just read their instructions. I must remember not to say that, especially in a snooty tone, when trying to help teachers or students at work. Or at least say it in a really nice, helpful, non-judgemental, and approachable way. I want people to feel comfortable coming to me for help! But I think it's true -with a little patience and willingness to really go through the site, they're usually pretty accessible.
I chose Vimeo because it seems to be a little more serious than You Tube. Maybe serious isn't the right word - perhaps I mean that it's more careful than You Tube. Vimeo has clear parameters -nothing commercial, nothing adult, privacy and licensing options - that I didn't find as much of on You Tube. For this assignment I appreciated that because I posted a video that shows my husband and me on a roller coaster in Disney World and I don't want it readily available to the public on You Tube. If it were something less personal I would absolutely use You Tube - and have in the past for my teaching job.
