Alright, well as much as I truly loved the adorable little boy that interviewed Obama (he's such an intelligent and dignified little kid! :D ), I really appreciated this video on graffiti; I actually could not open the other video. I think the video on graffiti provided great insight on how creative a student can be and different ways people show it, other than the "average" artistic methods.
Students can make videos like this to mainstream their original ideas or to shed a different light; with this video, we see that graffiti-ing isn't only for "bad kids", it's also a way to release creative juices. I actually did a mini-unit on graffiti, having students write poems describing a random picture of graffiti. The kids really enjoyed it and it was something they had never worked with. I think this video can relate; having kids create a reading of a poem with images of graffiti, or another idea without incorporating poetry.
I'm not sure if this student is in Special Education, but I see that the video is listed under this channel. This gives me even more of a reason to like videopodcasting, because as we can see with this student, videos can relate to anyone, whatever their disability may entail. I really enjoyed these videos and how easily they shifted my perspective.
