I like the video "Student Reporter Damon Weaver Interviews President Barrack Obama." This was my favorite video because it looks very much like formal publishing on a very important subject outside of the classroom. I appreciate this video because it has a purpose other than entertainment: This video is meant to be informative; it falls into the category of real news. This video appeals to students about the importance and their involvement in news as well as real and even national issues, such as this video does with politics.
I see two big ways that students use podcasting: First, they live podcasting because it allows them to publish themselves in a format that other people can and will see. YouTube is probably the biggest example of a place where people can and do publish home made videos. Second, students can use video podcasting to communicate with each other in ways that they can't do with audio podcasting. Students like the video element because our eyes and the sense of sight is the most used sight.
