This allows you to combine your own videos, pictures, or website material into one single video and create "hotspots" or clickable areas throughout the entire video. An example of this would be if you're selling something, such as clothes, and you create a "hotspot" on your video to take you directly to the site to complete the purchase. ]]> 2018-03-29 21:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorpclausius/7ux6u5a0tq1q/wish/247406347 taylorpclausius https://padlet.com/taylorpclausius/7ux6u5a0tq1q/wish/247414032 I found a YouTube video that was made by Wirewax that shows how to create your own interactive video. It also briefly talks about the uses on why you would want to create an interactive video.]]> 2018-03-30 00:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorpclausius/7ux6u5a0tq1q/wish/247414032 taylorpclausius https://padlet.com/taylorpclausius/7ux6u5a0tq1q/wish/247414308 After doing more research and learning more about this tool I discovered many different ways you could use it in your classroom. By creating your own videos and adding "tags" in it, you could create a lesson plan and add tags to different websites that would give more information to the students. You are also able to draw on the videos/pictures and add little memos for either note taking or labeling. I also think you could use it in classrooms with older kids in it so they could create their own videos or do their own tagging/hotspots. However, this tool is only supported by Google Chrome so if you do not have access to this you will not be able to create your own videos.]]> 2018-03-30 00:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorpclausius/7ux6u5a0tq1q/wish/247414308 taylorpclausius https://padlet.com/taylorpclausius/7ux6u5a0tq1q/wish/247425760 For my tutorial video of using the project I put together a handful of pictures from places my daughter and I have visited. I tagged or used the "hotspot" to label the places where the photos were taken. I tried to add in internet sources to gather more information for these places however, it did not allow me to add this websites on a trial version. I noticed this was very useful but only if you're going to make purchases within the site or pay for the service. I think it could be very beneficial for the classroom if used a lot though. ]]> 2018-03-30 02:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorpclausius/7ux6u5a0tq1q/wish/247425760 taylorpclausius https://padlet.com/taylorpclausius/7ux6u5a0tq1q/wish/247426076 I found a video going into great detail about how you could use Wirewax to promote and use in everyday videos. I learned that this tool is used for major marketing by big retailers such as Disney, Snapchat, and commercials seen everyday on TV. The video really digs deep on how or why you'd want to use this tool. This tool is used to captivate and entertain the audience watching these interactive videos and their promotions of their product do an amazing job of advertising it. ]]> 2018-03-30 03:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorpclausius/7ux6u5a0tq1q/wish/247426076
