Uploading Videos to your Blogger Account from the iPad.

Many student have been required by different classes to make a blog and upload videos in order to share their projects. One problem people faced was being able to upload a video to their blog from the iPad. In order to add a video to your blog you must first upload the video to YouTube (You must have a personal account in order to do this.) After you upload the video and give it a name, you can go back to your blog but only from the browser NOT the "Blogger App". When you are on your blog click "New Post"if you have not already started creating your post. Next, on top of the document to the right there is a video symbol. Click on the symbol where it will bring you to a mini YouTube page. Next, click the "My Videos" tab and your video should come up. Click on the Video then press the blue " Upload" symbol. Finally, the video should be added to your new post.  

360 Videos

Youtube's 360 Videos

All the time people discover new and interesting features that you can do with the iPad. Sometimes this is a new app, or a convenient shortcut - but for me yesterday, I had discovered perhaps the coolest feature on one of the apps I knew inside and out.

This app is YouTube. As the world's hub for video content, I use the platform a lot to watch videos related to personal interests and hobbies I have, as well as watching tutorials and lectures for school and news to keep me up to date. But yesterday I found out about the most peculiar feature - 360 degree video.

Though I had heard of this feature before, I had believed it only worked on new phones, and had never tried it with the old iPad. So when I saw a video mentioning it, I quickly found some videos to try it out with and it worked! It's quite interesting to use - since you have a complete view around you, it feels more immersive and realistic. By tilting and rotating your iPad around you, you have a special "lens" through which you watch the video, responding accurately to your minute wrist movements.

To get the most out of the feature, I sat in a desk chair that could be spun, so instead of moving my iPad around awkwardly, I could just rotate my chair to go left and right, and only use my hands for rotating up and down. Though it's not quite like virtual reality, it certainly creates a similar feeling through the unique perspective that you acquire.

I definitely recommend that other people try this out. Though it seems more useful for entertainment, I feel like it could be used for school if there were videos showing 3D tours of locations (perhaps exotic countries or simply college tours). Finally, I will link to three videos that I recommend trying with this feature.
