How to video: embed Voki on wiki or blog that does not allow javascript
Brief synopsis: For security reasons, many wikis and blogs only allow administrators to embed javascript on web pages. The wiki EditMe, for example, has a powerful individual user module, which allows teachers to create secure wiki web sites for students, all contained in the teacher's online Content Management System. EditMe has a built-in security feature that many wikis and blogs have -- keeping users from embedding javascript codes onto web pages. Javascript is a code that is used in many videos and podcasts, such as Voki. This security measure can be helpful, but it can also handcuff teachers, who want students to be able to add interactive Web 2.0 applications like Voki to their individual wikis or blogs. There are ways around this security measure.
Benefits: Security. Sometimes javascript can disrupt functionality of wikis and blogs.
Drawbacks: Web 2.0 applications like Voki use javascript, meaning students can't embed a Voki podcast onto their wiki or blog.
Conclusion: The how-to video above demonstrates how to teach students to embed Web 2.0 applications, like Voki, onto wikis, like EditMe, and blogs without using javascript, in 5 minutes or less.
