@Gail Desler, Can you share that Google Presentation with me (by sending me an email invite) so I can check out the settings and work out what is possible?

Sue, I just embedded a Google presentation into http://2webwatchers.edublogs.org/2010/01/25/107/ . I’ve made it open to everyone without signing in, but it doesn’t appear to be edible. But I’ve found the same issue with Tom Barrett’s Interesting Things session. Even though his slideshows appear in my Google Docs list as “to everyone,” I can’t actually edit them.

I must be missing a step, no?

@Ina There are a few embed codes that you can't embed and unfortunately I believe Rollyo code is one them. @mrwalters Have you tried using Edublogs.TV?

Awesome, but I’m really looking forward to being able to embed from Teacher Tube since my district blocks every other social media platform. If anyone knows of a workaround or tutorial for Teacher Tube embeds, give me a shout out.

Thanks

I am still stumped. I am trying to add a a Rollyo searchbox. I have followed the above tips, but any way I do it (widget ot straight in the, clicking publish – not save first) most of the code disappears.
Thanks

@Ms Skinner Glad you have found the Edublogger posts are helping you. You are doing everything correct with embedding the Google Videos and it definitely isn’t you.

There have been a few issues with embedding videos since the upgrade that they are working on. For example once you have added the Embed Code in the HTML tab make sure you press Publish only (don’t switch back to Visual tab or re-edit post) because unfortunately it is breaking the code and makes the video not work if viewed in Internet Explorer.

The trouble with Google Video looks like it isn’t embedding at the correct size — meant to be 400px wide by 362px high and instead it is embedding at about 246px by 200px. We don’t seem to be having the same trouble with YouTube however many schools block their site so not a good option. Perhaps you might like to try using Edublogs.TV which James has been working on — it is still in testing mode but many have commented on how it has helped them.

Thank you so much for your help in setting up our brandspanking new class blog – I have about one month of experience. Your info has been invaluable!

That being said – Help, please! I am having the dickens of a time embedding Google videos. I’m inserting the embed code in my posts using the HTML button. The videos show up and will even play – great!! The problem is that the video is tiny. Well – it’s about an 1 1/2 inches wide/tall. What am I doing wrong? Is it the theme I’m using (Chaotic Soul 1.2)? Could you point me in the right direction to find an answer?

Here’s the link, if you’d like to see what I’m talking about –

Thanks again! Much appreciated!!
