WARNING: There is a rule that you can not copy videos from YouTube.com and TikTok.com. But there are so many videos you can scavenge, copy, crop, “mutate”, splice and dice, “cannibalize”, and make your own - keeping within limits, of course. Why do you want to do this? Because like me, we are “cheap” and can never produce great videos such as these in our wildest imagination. This is my approach: within limits, I download the video, crop, and convert. Edit, combine, spruce up, intermingled with contextual questions, then add and finally deliver it in my instant learning platform. The great thing is that I am no expert! If I can do it, you can too.

I will show you ideas that you will find awesome:

• How to develop snappy and engaging scripts for short and provocative video teasers and igniters for lessons.
• How to find and discover the right mixture of videos from Youtube.com and other places.
• Why is there a growth in the underworld producer networks.
• How to use the “pegging method” in shifting back and forth between your script and the videos and media.
• How to have “ninja-like skills” in combining multiple videos, audio effects, images, and learning platform tricks to engage learners.
• How to use tiny videos to ignite learning discussions in cohorts, communities, and project teams. 
• How to secure permissions from video owners.

 
I am no expert and have no budget, I use very cheap and free tools. Let me show you. 
 
I will also ask our community to share their tiny videos which they developed from their love of creating things -  creatively and inexpensively. Share and preview “The Tiniest Provocative Videos” gallery.
