__**Embedding vs. Inserting a File or Video: **__
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Embedding is often faster and you typically have fewer media player glitches.
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">The first time you embed it can seem overwhelming due to seeing the gobbledeegook of code.
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Inserting requires you to have a copy of a file (usually on your local computer or server) and you "grab" it and put it in
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Embedding usually occurs when using websites from which to download video
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Not all programs allow you to easily embed so inserting might be the option
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Embedding allows you to edit the main file and it automatically updates the embedded file.
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Inserting requires you to update each file separately.
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">**To embed**, click Widget... Other... and paste the code from the source.
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">**For inserting a file**, click "File"... "Upload File" (file from your local machine)... find the file on the computer... then click the uploaded file when it's done
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">It's usually better to embed video if possible. But if the website is gone, so is the video
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Picture files usually are inserted
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Document files for viewing only are usually inserted
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Document files for editing are usually embedded
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Some common apps/sites for embedding:
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">TeacherTube (copy code from)
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Youtube (copy code to)
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Prezi (copy code to)
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">PowerPoint (copy code to)
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Google Docs (copy code from and sometimes to)
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Wikis (copy code to)
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Screenr (copy code from)
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Recommendation - try embedding first with video or files shared for editing. If you can embed rather than insert - embed.
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Goofy thing to really mess you up... once you insert a file or document into a wiki, technically it's now embedded. ARGH!!!
