Yesterday Google added the ability to insert a video into Google forms. All you need to do is to go to the "insert" tab and then go down to "video" and then find it on Youtube. Alternatively you could watch this one minute video to do it....

Publishing a Screen Cast in Google Apps
I am asking the kids to create a screen cast covering different topics in their contemporary AP World Unit (1900-present). The problem is that they cannot upload their screen cast to You Tube within the school?s network. Consequently, they have to save it as a video file (MP4). They can then open it in QuickTime or Real Player. The problem was how to share the file so that I or others could view it. After a couple of trials, I figured out how to insert the file into a goggle presentation. Here are the steps that I included in this 3 minute presentation.
For those not in FCPS, I (this is Ken) should add that you can upload a Screencastomatic straight into Youtube, but (as George notes above) this is not allowed in all school districts. If you have a closed Google Apps, this is a GREAT way to share a video.
