We are very fortunate that we can find videos on many sites on the world wide web and even make our own. The activities on this page will focus on how to add videos from a couple different, popular websites.

Tip: For this tutorial only it would be helpful if you could add videos that are 30 seconds or shorter because there could be several participants working on this tutorial at the same time.
