One of the things people tell me about glow blogs

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,000
is that they find them harder to use than

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
twitter on a mobile device. A lot of teachers post to twitter by mobile.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000
I want to make a quick screencast to show how easy 

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,000
it can be to post to your Glow Blog from mobile.

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000
What I’ve done to make it easier is to go to the new post page

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
in the past and saved as a bookmark on my home screen.

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
On iOS all you do is go to the new post page and

9
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000
add to Home Screen. Which gives you an icon on your home screen

10
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000
which points to the new post. The nice thing is that it 

11
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,000
force you through the login page without having

12
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,000
to make any extra clicks. I press the icon

13
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000
it takes me to RM Unify

14
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,000
I am quite comfortable on a personal device with a password

15
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,000
keeping my password in the browser.

16
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000
So I click sign in

17
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Because the links point at new post it takes me right through

18
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,000
I can add a title

19
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,000


20
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000


21
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Then to go down and click add media.

22
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
I click Select Files

23
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Photo Library, all photos, 

24
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,000
done, the file uploads.

25
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,000
I can insert it into the post.

26
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000
If I wanted to I can write a wee message.

27
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000


28
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000
All I need to do to post, is to scroll down 

29
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000
and click Publish.

30
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,000
That is slightly more complicated than posting to twitter but it gives me

31
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000
the advantage of control of the media.

32
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,000
I don’t relay on a 3rd party service.

33
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:19,740
And there is the post. Simple as that.

34
00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:19,739
