Let's click on the add Moodle media icon, number 12 in our preceding table, and explore what happens:
A pop up asks us to Find or upload a sound, video or applet…. Clicking there takes us to Moodle's File Manager or File Picker which we'll investigate in depth shortly. We can click on Upload a file and upload a video or sound file and it will appear automatically embedded. What's more intriguing however, is the YouTube option there.
We shall explore this in greater detail later and also in the final chapter where we look at administration issues, but for now it's enough for us to understand that Moodle 2.0 gives us the ability to search external sites such as YouTube and Flickr for resources that we can then very easily bring into our Moodle.
