 Embedding: What is it?
• The act of displaying content of one website
through another website.
• Often used for streaming multimedia.
• YouTube is a popular example. Millions of
websites embed movies hosted from YouTube.
• Embedding occurs most in blogs, wikis,
personal websites
 How can Teachers use embedding
• For consolidating multimedia content from
various sources onto one page that contains
the lesson plan
• For consolidating student Web 2.0 projects
onto one display page for presentations
• Assigning an embedding project to students to
consolidate multimedia content for a research
assignment

 Benefits
• Saves space: If 100,000 people all want the same
popular 50-megabyte movie playing on their
website, it would be wasteful for each person to
upload a separate copy.
• Expands sharing: Embedding allows users to share
movies, photos, calendars, charts, book lists, surveys,
specialty widgets, and much more by linking to the
host site.
• Mashups: Each person can embed any available
content into any order
