Video Teaching Mini Lesson

I chose to teach a mini lesson on what is called a Wordless Book.  It tells about the Truth of the Gospel.  It is a story from the Bible about the true and living God who made the world.  Each color of the book is a reminder of a part of the story.  Teaching a mini lesson was a fun assignment and my kids thought it was pretty neat to be "Stars" in the movie.  We were required to upload our video recording to Vimeo.  Vimeo holds files up to 500 MB therefore, my video was too large at about 1.7 GB.  I have a PC without moviemaker so I found someone with a Mac computer so that I could use iMovie which was already installed because I needed to make my movie smaller before uploading to Vimeo. I did manage to do it after a some trouble but I only have part of my lesson on the video. Vimeo is a free, simple to use web based tool that is designed to upload and share large files.  It is designed to abide by FERPA and copyright laws therefore it is a great tool for educators to use.  Below is a link to the video and I also embedded the video so you can view it from my blog.
