[BCMA] Using YouTube

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Rosaleen, 

I have a dozen or so video clips on YouTube, and find it easy to use. It is certainly cheaper than hosting it yourself, with the added bonus of being present in a platform where younger folks visit often. 

Having the videos on your own site will result in fewer hits. Having them on YouTube with a subtitle at the end - "For for information on the Bedeaux expedition, go to www.bedeaux.museum.", will drive traffic to your site.

We are in the process of developing an online educational component to compliment our “Bedaux Expedition” virtual exhibit. We will need to attach clippings from the expedition’s film footage as part of the lesson plans. It seems we have two alternatives : purchase video software for our web page or use YouTube links. 



The latter sounds daunting for a non techy but does seem to be the modern and cheaper way to go. 



Could someone offer me advice on the why’s and wherefore’s please before I jump in at the deep end? J 



Thanks. Rosaleen
