The Power of Video - Share your favorites

I'm very interested in how people use video to express themselves and how teachers can capture that energy into learning. So I will probably blog several times about video.

But to start things off, let's share our favorite youtube videos. Here's mine: scary cat

Make sure to share one that is of an individual expressing themselves (in a school appropriate way!). I'm not interested in professional ones or music videos, but people willing to let you into their lives, showing their talents and their faults. People being vulnerable. I will be watching them all, so make sure they are squeaky clean!!!

Technical tip: to get your words to be a link (see my "scary cat" text), use the following style in your reply. Use everything BUT the 2 backslashes (\). I had to put it there to keep it from being a link. You must do this for full credit. Feel free to ask me in class or email.

Here are a couple videos that I really like:
Daft Hands
Pork and Beans

Pork and Beans is a music video but it is put together from spoofs of some of the most popular Youtube videos.
