I have just made a new discovery! I simply love it !I am a visual learner and Vimeo is best to tickle my sense of aesthetics!

What is Vimeo?

Vimeo was founded in 2004 by a group of film makers who wanted to share their creative work and personal moments from their lives. As time went on, like-minded people discovered Vimeo and helped build a supportive community of individuals with a wide range of passions. Today Vimeo has thousands of creators and millions of followers all over the world. I am proud to be the newest entrant thanks to CCTI!

It has a human face! – Vimeo is a site that is built by people sharing photographs, films, movies, video clips that depict their life as they live it in real time. It is a fun and friendly environment, colourfully crafted encouraging creativity and friendliness. Vimeo is highly personalized, creating a person to person fun –filled- atmosphere. The objective of Vimeo is summarized in its tag line ‘Vimeo is video+ you. We put your videos first and give you the best ways to share, discover, and be inspired’.

Vimeo encourages a hands on creativity of which the creator of the video is – part or helped create. It encourages the creator to state his role in the video description. One must own or hold all the necessary rights to one’s video.

Vimeo provides a vimeo video school that takes a creator through how to make better videos using a variety of user-made video tutorials about a variety of video making topics.

Vimeo provides a practical and ethical guide to using Vimeo:

Respect of other people and their videos

Do not send unsolicited mass messages and sending robot-like message

Does not support pornography.

Vimeo is one of the teacher’s best companion- Using the videos on Vimeo to teach flipped lessons where learners can refer to in their free time to prepare for the lesson.

Does this not carry learning to a new level?
