This is a totally hands on session where participants will create and publish 3 different styles of video to their YouTube channel. Perfectionism and editing are not allowed.

1. Record a Screencast in QuickTime and upload to YouTube.

2. Create a Photo Slideshow in YouTube

3. Record a video message (or Vlog) directly into YouTube

Participants need a Mac, not an iPad. A few photos on your Mac will help with the slideshow too.

1. QuickTime

2. Photo Slideshow in YouTube

Slideshow

Make a slideshow with photos from your Google Plus or Picasa galleries or upload some on the spot.

3. Upload Straight from your Webcam

Web Cam Capture

If you have a webcam built into or connected to your computer, you can record a webcam video on YouTube and upload it directly to the site.
