My colleague, Joitske Hulsebosch, who is based in the Netherlands and most recently working in Ghana, developed a 12-step vlogging process to help a network in Ghana (GINKS) produce an ICT4D stories blog. She writes:
They were amazed that it is so easy to do, easier than maintaining a website for instance. We did two videos in the office together for fun, then did two video interviews jointly. The last two videos were published on their own. You can see them all on the GINKS blog.
The 12-Step vlogging process is an excellent primer for beginner "Social Reporters," or for anyone who wants to do video blog interviews at conferences.
Joitske also points to another good resource on video blogging:
There is an IBM podcast too on how to get started with online video. In it, they also make the point that it is very easy to get started with video editing software which is already may be on your computer (like windows moviemaker) which is of reasonably good quality. In combination with the easiness of uploading it to various site, and the possibility of tagging and blogging these video productions, it is a powerful way of bringing people closer together.
Thank you Joitske for an excellent video blogging training curriculum that can not only be useful to ngos in developing countries, but generally for nonprofits who want to start video blogging.
