MSU ED Tech teaser: using you're non-smartphone to upload to Youtube, Picasa, and Flickr

    If you haven't heard by now, the MSU TIES are putting on the 27th Annual tech conference.  And this year, I will be presenting along side Molly  Kackloudis, on the use of mobile devices in the classroom.  Part of our presentation is to use basic cell phones to collaborative and record video and pictures.  Luckily we found that you can do this with Youtube, Picasa, and Flickr, so following I have attached a short how to for each website.
**These procedures require picture and video messaging.

Youtube
1) Go to youtube.com  and login or create an account.
2)At the top of the page click on your account name, and select "Account"










3) Next on the left side of the page, navigate to mobile setup.















4) Finally save the provided address as an email contact in your cell phone.









5) Now, just record a video with your phone, send via text message , and use the SUBJECT line in your phone to title the video.
Picasa
1) Go to picasaweb.google.com, and sign in or create an account.
2) After signing in click on settings in the top right corner.
3)Under the General tab (should be the default window in settings), select Allow me to upload photos by email, and assign a secret word.






4) Finally save the provided address as an email contact in your cell phone.
5) Now, just take a picture with your phone, send via text message , and use the SUBJECT line in your phone to organize by album.


Flickr
1) Go to flickr.com, and sign in or create an account.
2) After signing in click on your account in the top right corner.





 3) Next on the top of the page, navigate to Emails & Notifications.
4) Then, toward the bottom of the page, you will see: Your Flickr upload email Copy this to your cellphone as  an email contact.






5) Now, just take a picture with your phone, send via text message , and use the SUBJECT line in your phone to post a description.


*** I have changed all of the emails pictured above so tryinng to post pics to these accounts is worthless.
