Video in the Classroom

I think video in the classroom is a good idea.  It gives students a chance to be creative.  It lets students be themselves.  They can shine and do things their way to shoot a video.  I think you could learn a lot about a student by assigning a video assignment.  An assignment I think that would be fun, would be interviewing people about a topic and video taping some of it.  A challenge could be that it could be reserved to only one place (a college campus), a certain age group, or maybe one specific room (like the cafeteria) to get your interviews.
