I have to say that I am impressed by the videos that we saw tonight.  If anyone ever doubted that teenagers are capable of intelligently, and even eloquently, expressing themselves through media they are mistaken.  Creativity often requires a medium through which it can be demonstrated, and allowing students to come up with projects that express their opinions and ideas can yield excellent results.  The enthusiasm in the videos really came through, and it was obvious that they took pride in their videos judging by the way they were edited, their choices in music, etc.  Hopefully I'll be able to make something that, if I were to show it in my classroom, would generate interest among my students.
